The Stained Glass Windows had been salvaged from Coventry’s Medieval Cathedral before it was bombed out by the German Luftwaffe. But in 1942 they simply disappeared, stolen from the storage in Hampton Lucy. Much later, it is discovered that many of the stained glass windows had found their way to Iceland.
How did this happen?
It is a mystery of conflicting stories, misplaced documents and confusing contradictions.
