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 in the Wall at Boston


The Pilgrimage now follows the river Witham south east to the important and prosperous mediaeval port of Boston. 

My note about the statue known as Our Lady in the Wall, which links back to my first article about it in 2021, can be seen at Marian Pilgrimage - Our Lady in the Wall at Boston


May Our Lady in the Wall at Boston pray for Pope Leo XIV
