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 Ely


Today the Pilgrimage has a several shrines to visit so as to maintain momentum and the schedule for the month. The first visit is to Ely Cathedral in the Fenland west of Thetford

My post about this long established shrine from last year has a number of links about the Lady Chapel which presumably housed the devotional Image. It can be seen at Marian Pilgrimage - Our Lady of Ely 

May Our Lady of Ely pray for Pope Leo XIV
