When Augustine arrived in Britain in 597 AD to convert the inhabitants to Christianity, there was already a practicing Christian there in the person of Bertha, wife of King Ethelbert of Kent. Bertha had her own church outside the city walls of Canterbury, a church now thought to be St Martins. This statue of Bertha stands on Lady Wotton's Green before the imposing Fyndon's Gate, the main medieval entry to St Augustione's Abbey.
