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 Allingtree


The Pilgrimage now ranges further west to the valley of the Wye and to the chapel of Our Lady of Allingtree on the road westwards from Hereford towards the Welsh border, and close to site of the nineteenth century Benedictine foundation of Belmont Abbey.

Little appears to be known of this wayside - and gallows-side - shrine, but I have tried to draw what there is together in my previous posts which can be accessed through the one from last year at Marian Pilgrimage - Our Lady of Allingtree

May Our Lady of Allingtree pray for Pope Leo XIV
