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 the Red Ark in York Minster


The third station on the Pilgrimage is the statue of Our Lady of the Red Ark in York Minster.

My post from last year, with links to previous pieces about the lost image in the south transept of the Minster can be seen at Marian Pilgrimage - Our Lady of the Red Ark in York Minster


The image of Our Lady of the Red Ark was probably just on the right of this picture
