Transcamster Bog commemorates the 240th anniversary of the Catholic Relief Act of 1778. After over two centuries of persecution, Roman Catholics regained some of their civil rights due to this Act. Catholics were allowed to join the Army and to inherit, purchase, and own land, if they swore an oath of loyalty to the King. The stamp depicts the 12th century seal of the priory of Our Lady of Walsingham, the most important Marian shrine in England.

The stamp is imperforate and ungummed (requires glue).
