The virtual Marian Pilgrimage reaches its conclusion today at Walsingham.

I wrote about the Shrine and its history, as well as new theories about its origin and the fate of the statue last year in Our Lady of Walsingham and with links to previous posts relating to it.

I have just come upon an article from the US Episcopalian magazine The Living Church and written by my old Pusey House friend the Rev. Mark Michael, about the argument that the original statue of Our Lady of Walsingham has indeed survived and is now, known as the Langham Madonna, in the Victoria and Albert Museum. It can be read at Original Our Lady of Walsingham Statue May Be in London’s V & A
