This blog is designed to allow students access to lesson notes, summaries and other material from Mr. Marshall's classes at Chatelech Secondary School on the Sunshine Coast of B.C.

Saxons first came to Britain not believing in christianity, Instead believing in their own god named Woden and another named Thor. The Celts in wales still believed in and remained christians, while saint patrick was converting the Irish Celts to christianity (Also a late Irish monk named St. Columbia) set up a monastery where the monks converted the angles (Also the english of Northumbria to christianity. In 597 A.D, Pope Gregory of Rome and St. Augustine set out to preach to the Saxons and Angles, also at the time there were 2 types of christians, the ones who followed the teaching of British monks and those who followed St. Augustine’s way of teaching.
