Instead, he explores the possibility that it was secretly hidden and survives today as the Langham Madonna, now housed in London's Victoria and Albert Museum. Drawing on historical records, medieval seals, museum research, and the testimony of earlier scholars, Fr Rear presents the clues that have led him to believe England's most famous Marian statue may still exist.
