Christianity had been present in Britain since Roman times, but it largely disappeared when the Anglo-Saxons arrived. In AD 597, Pope Gregory sent St Augustine to re-establish Christianity in England. Augustine became the first Archbishop of Canterbury. The Anglo-Saxon kings gradually converted to Christianity, and monasteries became important centres of learning and culture.
