Fourteenth Centenary Of Arrival Of St Augustine

EDM number 1429 in 1993-94, proposed by Edward Leigh on 04/07/1994.

That this House believes that the arrival of St. Augustine and his fellow monks to convert the English to Christianity can be seen as one of the most significant events in the history of the nation, since there derives from it much of the origins of the national religion, literature, learning, art, music, architecture, agriculture and horticulture, and the monuments of these activities; and calls for the Post Office to issue a set of stamps to commemorate and give prominence to the fourteenth centenary of the arrival of St. Augustine in Kent in AD 597.

This motion has been signed by a total of 11 MPs.
