The 'Anglican' denomination, as such, refers to the fundamental grouping of those in what is known as the 'Church of England'. Whilst some suggest that the ' Church of England' is simply a continuity of the Christianity of Roman Britain, others claim that it dervives from the fusion of the ancient Celtic religion with the missionary church of 'Saint Augustine' , who founded the diocese of Canterbury in 597 AD.

At various times in history this religious organisation was either independent, or under the Church of Rome, or under the supremacy of the ruling monarch of the United Kingdom.
