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.

A remarkable Roman road in Worcestershire

 
The recent discovery of an intact section of the paving of a Roman road in Worcestershire has been hailed as highly important and described as being as rare as those surviving in Rome and Pompeii.

The site is described and illustrated by Archeo-Histories in X at Archaeo - Histories
