When the Romans conquered England, they brought with them thier language, Latin. It was the language of the Empire for a long time. Church Officials mainly used Latin as well, so it lived on. We also have many words with Latin bases today, especially scientific names.

Julius Caesar did not force to conquered Britons to speak Latin because he never conquered Britain. He only made two attempts at invasion, but was forced to turn back because of the weather.
