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 Pity in the Galilee at Durham Cathedral


Moving now to the north-east of England the Pilgrimage stops at Durham Cathedral, which had two statues of Our Lady which drew pilgrims.

In the Galilee Chapel at the west end was the statue of Our Lady of Pity.

My post about this from last year, together with links to other posts from previous years on this shrine, can be seen at Marian Pilgrimage - Our Lady of Pity in the Galilee at Durham Cathedral



The site is the statue of Our Lady of Pity

May Our Lady of Pity in the Galilee at Durham intercede for us and our intentions 

Jesu mercy, Mary pray
