Discover the extraordinary world of the early British and Celtic saints—the bishops, abbots, missionaries, hermits, martyrs, kings, queens and holy men and women whose Christian heritage reaches deep into the ancient Celtic world.

1,000 British & Celtic Saints Before Augustine is a compact reference booklet from St. Andrew’s Celtic Press, gathering the names and traditions associated with the saints of Britain, Ireland and the wider Celtic Christian heritage. It offers readers an accessible doorway into a remarkable spiritual world too often overshadowed in conventional accounts of European Church history.

Long before later ecclesiastical structures came to dominate Britain, Christianity had already taken root among its peoples. Monasteries, missionary communities, local churches and generations of saints carried the faith across Britain, Ireland and beyond. Their names survive in ancient churches, holy wells, place names, calendars, genealogies and local traditions stretching across the Celtic lands.

This booklet is especially suited to readers interested in Celtic Christianity, British Church history, the early saints, genealogy, local history and the recovery of ancient Christian heritage. Keep it as a reference, use it to discover unfamiliar saints and places, or give it to someone beginning to explore the remarkable history of the Celtic Church.

Published as part of the historical and ecclesiastical work of St. Andrew’s Celtic Press.
