The ancient Romans first took Christianity to Britain. Christianity was made the state religion in the fourth century and public worship of pagan gods was banned in 391 CE. By 429, the ruling class of Britain was entirely Christian.
However, with the fall of the Roman Empire, it was once more possible to publicly worship the old gods. Further influenced by the Anglo-Saxon invasions, Britain once more became a largely pagan region.
In 597, Pope Gregory sent the monk Augustine to England to evangelise the island. Augustine visited the king of Kent who agreed it would be politically valuable to have continental support, and so became Christian. In 601, Gregory sent the monk Mellitus to assist. They were instructed to smash all pagan idols and expropriate pagan temples for Christian use.
The eastern half of England, from the Thames to the Tyne, was repaganised in the 860s, following Viking conquests. Finally, in the eleventh century, King Canute, the Danish conqueror of Wessex and its English dependencies, became a Christian.
