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.

The Manchester Oratory


I heard the other day that the long awaited canonical erection of the proposed Manchester Oratory has been granted, although it will be based at Cheetham Hill rather than its present base at the church of the Holy Name. The official announcement is on their parish website and can be seen here.
