Is there any evidence of Anglo-Saxon subjects in Danelaw renouncing Christianity and worshiping the gods of their rulers in significant numbers?

We often hear of Norse settlers converting to Christianity, but I've never come across anything that indicates that it also worked the other way around. I don't doubt that there were probably opportunistic individuals to converted to gain favor with the Norse. But are there any mentions of large portions of the Anglo-Saxon population in Danelaw, like potentially whole villages, converting?

This is all presuming that there were Anglo-Saxons to convert, I would also be curious to hear if maybe we don't have mentions of this because many of them fled to neighboring kingdoms.
