The early days of Christianity in the British Isles are a total mystery indeed. That is what created the speculation and myths of Joseph of Arimathea and other apostles or saints taking Christianity there. We don’t know what happened. But most historians agree that by the second century easily there was Christianity there in spades.

And did those feet in ancient time
Walk upon England’s mountains green:
And was the holy Lamb of God,
On England’s pleasant pastures seen!

And did the Countenance Divine,
Shine forth upon our clouded hills?
And was Jerusalem builded here,
Among these dark Satanic Mills?

Bring me my Bow of burning gold;
Bring me my Arrows of desire:
Bring me my Spear: O clouds unfold!
Bring me my Chariot of fire!

I will not cease from Mental Fight,
Nor shall my Sword sleep in my hand:
Till we have built Jerusalem,
In England’s green & pleasant Land.

Theoretically, yes, and that is what those theories posit. And historically, the Church in England did predate the Augustinian mission. As demonstrated. The question is, what happened between roughly 125 AD (or, if you accept the hard core Glastonbury-ites, maybe 37 AD) and roughly 300 AD. No one knows.

Again that does not answer my question. So let’s accept the theory that these predate the Augustinian mission and that they were indeed in England.

What are you trying to say with this statement. Are you trying to make a claim that somehow these were foundations made from any of the other patriarchates? Are you implying that somehow these Christians were not in communion with Rome?
 
This royal throne of kings, this sceptred isle
This earth of majesty, this seat of Mars,
This other Eden, demi-paradise,
This fortress built by Nature for herself
Against infection and the hand of war,
This happy breed of men, this little world,
This precious stone set in the silver sea,
Which serves it in the office of a wall
Or as a moat defensive to a house,
Against the envy of less happier lands,—
This blessed plot, this earth, this realm, this England.
