Christianity had come to the mainland before the Church of Rome spread its wings in that direction. The Catholic faith became dominant in the British Isles and the early Christians converted to become Catholic. Then as you say King Henry got involved...

The photography is great particularly of the gargoyles on the buildings. The church certainly holds a great part in the history of this country and particularly the history of the church of England, Being an Anglican of the High C of E. I believe that the Church was already established by St Cuthbert and St Augustus and the monks of, Holy Isle Northumberland but at that time, the Country was ruled by a Roman Catholic Monarch Henry VIII, they were outlawed until Henry conveniently made himself head of the C of E, so that he could lay down the rules, including allowing divorce, thus allowing him to divorce Kathryn of Aragon.
