We do not know exactly how many died in the Black Death, but it might have been as much as half the people of England. It returned more than once, and kept returning until the seventeenth century.

When the Black Death was over, there were not enough farmers in England. Serfs were supposed to stay on the manors where they were born, but with an insufficient number of workers, many lords tried to tempt serfs off the lands of their neighbors. They did this by offering a better deal than the serfs had previously had. This brought serfdom in England to an end in not very many years.
