When churches were built, they tended to include pagan as well as Christian symbols, evidencing an attempt to reach out to the pagan Anglo-Saxons, rather than demonstrating that they were already converted.
Kui ehitati kirikuid, kippusid need sisaldama paganlikke, samuti kristlikke sümboleid, tõendades püüet jõuda paganlike anglosaksideni, mitte demonstreerides, et nad olid juba pööratud.
