The plague, specifically the Black Death, traveled to England in 1348 primarily through trading ships. These vessels, arriving from infected ports in Europe, carried fleas and rats that were hosts to the plague-causing bacterium Yersinia pestis. As the infected rats and fleas spread ashore, human contact with them facilitated the rapid transmission of the disease among the population. The movement of people, goods, and animals further contributed to the plague's swift spread across England.
