Concordia Scott

I have corrected the name of the sculptor of the statue of Our Lady of Pew in Westminster Abbey. The original was taken from an early mistake printed in "Catholic Trivia, Our Forgotten Heritage," Harper Collins 1992. I have linked to a different source, but here are a couple of other links which spell her name correctly: Minster Abbey website: http://www.minsterabbeynuns.org/history-modern-2.html

Clarification

moved this here:

According to Vail: "At this point Albert Joseph Freeman comes onto the scene. Freeman fought in the First World War and was severely gassed in the trenches. As he lay dying in a field hospital he promised to dedicate his life to the Virgin Mary if he recovered. In 1955, after a visit to the abbey, during which he was much moved and distressed by the empty niche in the Pew Chapel, he commissioned Sister Concordia Scott [Vail, Anne (2004). The Shrines of Our Lady in England. Gracewing. pp. 211 and viii. ISBN 978-0852446034.] of Minster Abbey on the Isle of Thanet to carve a statue of Mary to replace the one lost at the Reformation.
n.b., the Abbey website says it took Scott 14 months to created OLP, which was enthroned in 1971. If Freeman commissioned this in 1955, did it take her 15 yrs to find the alabaster? Manannan67 (talk) 00:51, 10 February 2020 (UTC)[reply]
