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 Ardenbergh” at Great Yarmouth


 Striking out eastwards the pilgrim comes to the great medieval port and fishing town of Great Yarmouth and a shrine created as a copy of one in the Netherlands, that of Ardenbergh, and commemorating a major victory in the early stages of the Hubdred Years War.

My series of notes about this shrine can be accessed from Marian Pilgrimage - Our Lady “of Ardenbergh” at Great Yarmouth


May Our Lady “of Ardenbergh” at Great Yarmouth pray for Pope Leo XIV
