Excerpt from History and Antiquities of the Cathedral Churches of Great Britain, Vol. 2 of 4 Chester is a truly protestant see, and they who cannot revere it for its antiquity, may respect it for its original purity and exemption from all vulgar idolatries. The city of Chester, however, has been, during time immemorial, the seat of Christian learning and piety. Its history is coeval with that of the country. The county of Chester was, at an early period, inhabited by the people called Cornavii. After the Romans became its possessors, it was included in Britannia Superior, and subsequently it became part of Flavia Cæsariensis. When the Romans retired, the Britons resumed the possession of our city, and retained it, with only one short intermission of a few years, till 828, when Egbert reduced the whole Saxon heptarchy to his authority. The first attack of the Saxons was in 607, and as it was founded on religious motives, it merits attention.
