St Augustine died 605 AD-
There is some evidence that the bones of St Augustine
were brought to Chilham Church to protect them from the
plundering of Canterbury Cathedral soon after 1535 when
Henry VIII made himself head of the English Church. An
ancient Sarcophagus with a battered cross on its lid (a sign
of the interred being a member of the church) can still be
seen in the church, but the bones are now buried
elsewhere.604.
