England was originally Celtic, there are legends that Catholicism was brought to England in the first century, but the first established written history of Catholicism in England began with St. Augustine of Canterbury's mission from Rome to bring Christianity to England in 597. England remained Catholic until Henry VIII violently suppressed the Church between 1533 and 1536 killing many Catholic Christians, turning monks and nuns out of their monasteries, and stealing all the Churches, monasteries, rectories, schools, and everything else that belong to the Catholic Church and Catholics. This was an horrendous time in England, priests caught celebrated the most Holy Eucharist, were drawn and quartered before being burned at the stake. Heaven was filled with many holy martyrs during those years. Catholicism was not re-established until 1829.
