„Cea mai interesantă descoperire Cromwell dintr-o generație – dacă nu mai mult.” – Dr Tracy Borman
Se crede că această carte este singura carte Tudor care a supraviețuit până în ziua de azi și prima dată când cartea a fost împumutata de Trinity College de când a fost primită la 10 august 1660.
Asistenta curatoare la Castelul Hever, Kate McCaffrey, a făcut legătura că Catherine of Aragon și Anne Boleyn, care aveau copii ale aceleiași cărți de rugăciuni. Apoi a descoperit o a treia copie a Cărții din 1527, care fusese donată Cambridgeului în 1660 și a luat întreaga echipa curatorială de la Hever să o vadă.
Curatorul castelului Hever, Alison Palmer, a recunoscut montura cu bijuterii, argint aurit, a cărții din faimosul portret al lui Thomas Cromwell pictat de Hans Holbein cel Tânăr (1497/8-1543) în 1532-1533, care se află la muzeul The Frick Collection, New York.
