Roman influence in Britain

[Felix]

...The most christianised part of Britain during the roman period was Kent with many areas in the west still practicing roman paganism. During the 5th cent. the church appears to have moved to the west, though we don't know if this is just the heirarchy or the entire congregation. Cut off from Rome, it developed it's own version of Christianity.

When the anglo saxons kingdoms started to convert to christianity, they were influenced by the Frankish church, in turn influenced by the church in Rome. The result was two Christian doctrines and the Synod of Whitby.

It would be appropriate to mention that there was a center of Christianity in Ireland at this time, which had considerable importance in the British Isles, and in some ways, the whole of Christendom. I agree that the presence of this non-Roman influence may have diminished the transmission of Latin culture in Britain.
