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 Doncaster


The pilgrimage now moves a little further south to Doncaster and to the shrine of Our Lady in the Carmelite friary in the town centre.

My article from last year about the shrine, its history and revival, together with other links,  can be viewed at Marian Pilgrimage - Our Lady of Doncaster


May Our Lady of Doncaster pray for Pope Leo XIV
