medieval-religion: Scholarly discussions of medieval religion and culture
Hi
I include below a list of references to possible churches in Roman Britain.
Obviously there is a great deal of debate over the identification of church
structures- even the identification of the Siclhester ‘church’ is equivocal.
Also if the list does not mind I will shamelessly advertise my forthcoming
book fortuitously titled ‘Christianity in Roman Britain’ ? It should be
available in a month or so (I’ve just sent the proofs back this morning)
