Exeter Cathedral is built on the camp of the Roman Army's II Augustan Legion. Archaeological evidence of 5th century Christian Worship has been found. In the Seventh Century, St Boniface the Patron Saint of Germany was educated at a monastery or church adjacent to the Cathedral's present location in 690.

Manchester Cathedral
Manchester Cathedral began as a fortress chapel, though whether that fortress was part of the Anglo-Saxon network of burghs established against the Danes, or a Norman castle for keeping Anglo-Saxons in check, no one knows. The puzzle is complicated because there was also an old Roman fort a mile away at Castlefield, where archaeologists dug up the earliest evidence we have of Christians in Britain. The Sator-Rotas inscription (the Paternoster in secret code) was scratched on of a fragment of storage jar, c.175 AD. This is evidence of Christians but not necessarily of a church building.
