How did our ancestors live? How did they affect the way we live now?

The history of the British Isles is made up of different cultures, religions, stories, tongues and people. Our rich and varied past is made up of a range of cultures and civilisations from Ancient Rome in the Mediterranean Sea to Scandinavia in the north.

Celts, Romans, Saxons, Vikings and Normans have all invaded and settled here. It is their stories and legacy that formed the British Isles.

In this blog I will go through who these invaders and settlers were and where they came from and find out their impact on our home.
