I'm not exactly sure what you're looking for--either religion in Britain before
the conversion or directly after--but if you're looking for a place to get
started on this, I've always found Gale R. Owen's _Rites and Religions of the
Anglo-Saxons_ a good starting point. Owen's book covers the periods both before
and after the arrival of Augustine, and includes a fair amount of written and
archaeological evidence.
I've used it teaching undergrads and grad students, and I'm using it again now
in pursuit of my PhD--it's a great resource.
