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 Windsor


Returning to the Thames Valley the next destination for the Pilgrimage is Windsor Castle and the Chapel of St George which housed the devotion to Our Lady of Windsor. 

The various statues of the Virgin in the Chapel are outlined in my post from last year together with links to post from previous years about the Chapel and its Marian tradition. This can be accessed at Marian Pilgrimage - Our Lady of Windsor


May Our Lady of windso pray for Pope Leo XIV
