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 at the Pillar in St Edmundsbury


The Pilgrimage returns to East Anglia and to St Edmundsbury.- Bury St Edmunds - to a shrine in the parish church of Saint Mary rather than in the great Benedictine abbey. 

The story of the shrine is set out in my post from last year at Marian Pilgrimage - Our Lady at the Pillar St Edmundsbury


May Our Lady at the Pillar in St Edmundsbury pray for Pope Leo XIV
