What if those feet, in ancient times, did walk upon England?

So this one sprung to me: what if Jesus actually had turned up in England at some point, it's not just a nice line in a poem, we had Gospels talking about it and records of a much earlier start to the church in England? What does that mean for the development of religion in Britain and politics with it, and how it goes elsewhere? (For that matter, is there now an Eastern Holy Land and England is the Western Holy Land where control of Glastonbury is highly important to foreign kings & Popes?)

More enduring Insular Christianity as the only guys who believe it, since it's inconvenient for continental Christianity, maybe?
 
Schisms. Probably.

That's assuming a Christian community gets rooted into British society, of course - Britain is a very different social context to Judea, is a similar message going to work?
