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 Tewkesbury


The third shrine on today’s intensive session of the pilgrimage is that of Our Lady of Tewkesbury.

My article from last year links to my earlier reflections about this devotion and can be seen at Marian Pilgrimage - Our Lady of Tewkesbury


May Our Lady of Tewkesbury pray for The King and all the Royal Family and for us all
