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 Bradstow at Broadstairs


This shrine on the coast of Thanet is one I added to the Pilgrimage two years ago.  My articles about it can be accessed, along with a number of additional links about its history, from last year’s post at Marian Pilgrimage - Our Lady of Bradstow at Broadstairs
  


The much altered and adapted remains of the chapel today. A plaque indicating the history of the building can be seen on the left

May Our Lady of Bradstow intercede for us and our intentions 

Jesu mercy, Mary pray
