Channel formed separating Britain
from the rest of Europe.
Neolithic, Bronze & Iron Ages
The first settlers here were hunter-gatherers, who
spent much of their lives travelling in search of
food. Around 750 BC iron was introduced into
Britain, which led the way for the production of
sophisticated and durable tools and weapons.

43 – 1065 AD
In 43 AD the Roman army crossed the Channel and
quickly defeated any resistance from local
tribes. The Romans founded Londinium
(London) and built military roads throughout
the country. Within ten years, Roman rule had

Britain until the 5th century, after which Britons
were left more or less to fend for themselves.

England in 1348 and quickly spread to Wales and
Scotland, killing up to a third of the population
by the end of 1350. The plague persistently re-
emerged in Britain until the 17th century,
severely affecting the country's economic
balance. In order to combat the devastating
effects of the plague, the ruling classes attempted
to restore economic stability through
