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 Lay of Poulton


The route now turns inland to the shrine of Our Lady of Poulton in the hinterland of Dover.

Our knowledge of this shrine is fragmented but what evidence I could find can be seen via my article from last year at Marian Pilgrimage - Our Lady of Poulton

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