It seems to me, though this is not an area in which I am very widely read,
that people tend to forget that Britain was a Christian country under the
Romans and the Anglo-Saxons whose conversion Bede recounts had not been
settled there for very long. There may be no source material for the
British church available but it is certainly worth some consideration and
would provide another angle from which to view Bede and his contemporaries.
