History of the see

Christianity arrived in the British Isles in the first or second centuries (probably via the tin trade route through Ireland and Spain). Londinium, as it was then known, had become a city that prospered and superseded Colchester as the capital of the Roman province of Britannia. At its height in the 2nd century AD, Roman London had a population of around 60,000. It is certain that a metropolitan bishop was working in London in the early centuries of the Christian era. The recorded antiquity of the office dates back to ancient times where sixteen named archbishops are listed by Jocelyne of Furness in his work Bishops. It has been noted that this is the sole available source of these names, however, the earlier of the two bishops named Restitutus is known to have existed as he is named as attending the Council of Arles in 314.

Council of Arles

The first council of Arles formally condemned the heresy of Donatism. It began as an appeal by the Donatists to Constantine the Great against the decision of the Roman Council of 313 under Pope Miltiades. This is the first instance of an appeal of a Christian party to the secular power, and it turned out unfavorably to the Donatists who afterwards became enemies of the Roman authorities. The Council of Arles was the first called by Constantine and is the forerunner of the First Council of Nicaea. Augustine of Hippo called it an Ecumenical Council, but it was not recognized as such..
