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.

Excavations at Bremenium Fort


The ongoing excavations at the site of the Roman fort of  Brenenium on the northern extension of Dere Street, linking Eboracum ( York ) to Hadrian’s Wall and then northwards to what is now southern Scotland were reported upon last autumn by Heritage Daily in Major discoveries at Bremenium Roman Fort

One find in particular was featured by Archaeology Magazine in Carved Jewel Uncovered at Roman Fort in Northern England
