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 Sudbury


The Pilgrimage now returns to the southern edge of Suffolk and to the shrine of Our Lady of Sudbury. This was in a chapel dedicated to St Anne that still survives as an addition to the south porch of the church of St Gregory.

My post from last year with its links can be seen at Marian pilgrimage - Our Lady of Sudbury

To that I would add that there is now a good illustrated account of St Gregory’s church on Wikipedia at St_Gregory's_Church,_Sudbury, and from Taking Stock there is a good account of the. Catholic parish church at Sudbury - Our Lady and St John the Evangelist


The modern statue of Our Lady of Sudbury created in 1937 in the Catholic Church of  Our Lady and St John the Evangelist

May Our Lady of Sudbury intercede for us and our intentions 

Jesu mercy, Mary pray
