You can still also see the Roman mosaics with which they used to decorate their villages in many museums.
Roman Britain enjoyed a quite peaceful time until about 300 AD when it was attacked by many European barbarian hordes and also on the northern front in Britain by Scots and Picts.
The Romans kept pushing back their attackers from both sides and in 410 AD Emperor Constantine removed his British army altogether to defend the Roman Empire at the River Rhine frontier from invasion.
The different cities of Britain had to defend themselves and the Romans never came back.
For the next One Thousand Years Britain again descended back into barbarism and feudalism with only a brief respite when William The Conqueror was ruling here.
For the first 600 years after the Romans, Britain was the battle ground from many different attackers such as the Angles, the Saxons, and even the Celts were pushed back into Wales and Scotland by continuing Viking attacks.
After the Romans had left in 410 AD, the Vikings used to get mercenaries from northern Germany and these mercenaries (Anglo Saxons) with their families were paid for with stolen British Lands where they could farm and set up permanent camps to defend themselves.
Even to this very modern day their Viking Blood Line is very strong in certain parts of the UK.
Eventually the Anglo Saxons realized that they were stronger than their employers (the Vikings) and thus they took control of most of Britain and lands that were not originally provided to them.
