Once I was a clever boy learning the arts of Oxford... is a quotation from the verses written by Bishop Richard Fleming (c.1385-1431) for his tomb in Lincoln Cathedral. Fleming, the founder of Lincoln College in Oxford, is the subject of my research for a D. Phil., and, like me, a son of the West Riding. I have remarked in the past that I have a deeply meaningful on-going relationship with a dead fifteenth century bishop... it was Fleming who, in effect, enabled me to come to Oxford and to learn its arts, and for that I am immensely grateful.

Marian Pilgrimage - Our Lady of Pity in the Rock at Dover


The pilgrims now return to Kent and to what might be seen geographically as the last, or first, shrine in the realm.

From my article from last year readers can navigate back to my original post about this shrine, about which there is a bit more information recorded than many of the other smaller shrines on the route. It can be accessed at Marian Pilgrimage - Our Lady of Pity in the Rock at Dover.


May Our Lady of Pity in the Rock at Dover pray for The King and all the Royal Family and for us all
