S Y N T H E S I S - The Great Kent Churches: How Did They Survive Their Exposure to the Viking Attacks of the Ninth Century? On the other hand, one factor which contributed to the actual survival of the two island minsters, is that whilst they could not physically prevent their opponents from ultimately destroying both themselves and their treasured possessions, given sufficient warning the resident Christian populations were able to seek refuge within the walls of Canterbury. As Brooks explains, the Anglo-Saxon Chronicle “was not concerned to record the fortunes of churches and monasteries”[ 32 ], and both Sheppey and Thanet experienced a sudden “disappearance from the record”[ 33 ] in the second half of the ninth century. The latter, in particular, was “of tremendous strategic value.”[ 22 ] The Anglo-Saxon Chronicle tells us that Sheppey was “devastated”[ 23 ] in 835, and Asser mentions the Viking occupations of 851[ 24 ] and 855[ 25 ]. www.rosenoire.org /articles/hist28.php
