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 Brougham


Turning northwards the Pilgrimage now comes to the church at Brougham. Little appears to be known about this devotion beyond the reference to it by John Leland. 

My article about it from last year can be seen at Marian Pilgrimage - Our Lady of Brougham

May Our Lady of Brougham pray for Pope Leo XIV
