In 597 St Augustine came to Britain as an envoy of the
Roman Catholic Church. After travelling widely, he wrote to
the Pope telling him that :-
‘In the western confines of Britain there is a certain royal island
of large extent, surrounded by water, abounding in all the
beauties of nature and necessaries of life. In it, the first
neophytes of Catholic Law, found a church constructed by the
hands of Christ himself. He continues to watch over it as sacred
to Mary, the Mother of God.’.
If Augustine was right, this church was dedicated to Mother
Mary. Until the 8th century churches were only dedicated to
saints whose tombs they were believed to house. Here is a
1400-year-old reference to Mary’s tomb being in the British
Isles.
Medieval accounts of Joseph of Arimathea’s journey to
Britain say he founded a church and resided there with
Mother Mary for 15 years. It was on an island in the west of
Britain that Augustine was shown the mysterious church
named after Mother Mary.
Phillips concludes that Anglesey is the only island that
matches this description. It is the largest island in England
and Wales. It was royal too, which during Augustine’s time,
contained the seat of the Dark Age kings of Gwynedd. It
was also prosperous, known as the bread basket of northern
Wales.

Phillips concludes in his book that Anglesey was Avalon.
Where Mother Mary’s tomb is, remains a mystery…
But why did Mother Mary stay in Anglesey for 15 years?
Kathleen McGowan* has been researching Mary Magdalene
for over 30 years and believes there is a strong possibility
Mary took her young grandson, Yeshua David with her.
I believe he had a twin sister, Anna. They were the bloodline
of Yeshua and had to be protected at all cost – the Holy
Grail.
Words of their existence gradually seeped out and legends
were born, not recorded until the 12th century.
Centuries later Yeshua David would become known as King
Arthur and Anna as Morgan le Fey.
