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 Woodbridge


The Pilgrimage now heads further east into Suffolk and goes to Woodbridge.

Less less appears to be known about this shrine than about many of the others on this journey, and it may have had a more local following than other images and traditions of prayer.

My article from last about what I could glean can be seen at Marian Pilgrimage - Our Lady of Woodbridge

May Our Lady of Woodbridge pray for Pope Leo XIV
