An important town in the kingdom of Kent, Canterbury was the place that where the Anglo-Saxons first began to embrace Christianity. In 597 AD, Pope Gregory sent St. Augustine to England to convert the people. Just outside the city walls, King Ethelbert and his court were converted. The king had probably been influenced in his decision by his Frankish wife, Bertha.

Canterbury became the seat of an archbishop, and was to play a major part in the history of Christianity in England. Two abbeys were built there, which later became St. Augustine's Abbey, where Kentish royalty were buried. Ethelbert's son ordered the construction of the Christ Church monastery which later became the cathedral - a place which has pre-eminence in the English Church to this day.
