    Christianity was a prominent world religion centred around Jesus Christ.[a]

    Practice in Gallowmere

    Christianity was practiced in the kingdom of Gallowmere during the 13th and 14th centuries (and likely earlier as well). The settlement of Gallows Town had a small church where its people gathered in worship. In the nearby graveyard, the graves of many dead were marked by wooden and stone crosses. There was also a prominent statue of an angel positioned roughly in the middle of the graveyard.

    Gallowmere was also home to a monastic order that oversaw the local asylum. However, its members went insane after the disappearance of the head monk.[1][1.1]

    Practice in Victorian London

    Angel statue and chapel in Whitechapel.

    The people of 19th century London still practiced Christianity. This was most evident in the Whitechapel graveyard which featured a chapel and a the statue of a praying angel. The coffins of the (un)dead there also bore crosses on their front.

    Notes

    1. Christianity and Jesus Christ are never directly mentioned in the MediEvil games. However, beginning with the second game, real world locations and people are referenced, which shows us that the MediEvil world is similar to ours in some respects. Additionally, many Christian symbols appear throughout the games, necessitating the existence of the religion (or one like it) in the world of MediEvil.
