Detailed explanation-1: -Since Britain was very tightly connected to Roman Gaul at the time, the presumption is that missionaries from Gaul brought the Christian faith to Britain, where it first took root in the urban areas and then spread out into the countryside.
Detailed explanation-2: -Beginning in the Middle East, Christianity began its spread north and west into Europe, carried by merchants, missionaries, and soldiers. Of course, the Roman imperial government couldn’t ignore the fact that, despite the persecutions, Christianity was growing stronger.
Detailed explanation-3: -It began when Roman artisans and traders arriving in Britain spread the story of Jesus along with stories of their Pagan deities. Christianity was just one cult amongst many, but unlike the cults of Rome, Christianity demanded exclusive allegiance from its followers.
