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 Kingswood


Returning across the Wye and the Severn the Pilgrimage now heads for Kingswood Abbey in Gloucestershire. This was a Cistercian foundation in the southern part of the county, and the devotion to Our Lady there appears to have been local rather than widespread in its appeal.

It is another about which little appears to be no, but I have gathered together what was available in my post, which can be found through the one from last year at Marian Pilgrimage - Our Lady of Kingswood


May Our Lady of Kingswood pray for Pope Leo XIV
