The
inscription on St.Augustine's tomb read:
'Here
resteth the Lord Augustine, the first Archbishop of Canterbury
Who erewhile was sent hither by blessed Gregory Bishop of the City
of Rome, and being helped by God to work miracles, drew over King
Ethelbert and his race from the worship of idols to the faith of Christ.
Having ended in peace the days of his ministry, he departed hence
seven days before the Kalend of June in the reign of the same king,
A.D.605.' #
