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 Jesmond


Moving further north across the Tyne into Northumberland the Pilgrimage now comes to the western side of Newcastle-upon-Tyne and the shrine of Our Lady of Jesmond.

My article from last year about the shrine and its history before and since its ruination can be found at Marian Pilgrimage - Our Lady of Jesmond

May Our Lady of Jesmond pray for Pope Leo XIV
