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 on the Red Mount at King’s Lynn


This, the penultimate shrine on the Pilgrimage is, in archaeological and architectural terms, a rare survival of a type of wayside chapel that must have once been much more common. It is also a sophisticated structure in its own right.

My previous posts about it, and in particular the first one in 2020, can be accessed from that for last year, at Marian Pilgrimage - Our Lady on the Red Mount in King’s Lynn

May Our Lady on the Red Mount at Kings Lynn pray for Pope Leo XIV
