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 villa or cult site at Grove


The discovery of a Roman villa - or possibly a cult centre - at Grove, north of Wantage in the historic county of Berkshire, has yielded some interesting finds and some tantalising questions for archaeologists and historians of the era.
 
ZME Science reported on the site almost two years ago in Ancient 'curse scrolls' unearthed in luxurious 1,800-year-old Roman villa in the UK
