By 1066, all the major tribal inflows settled and coalesced.
Starting with pre-historic peoples, of which there are many and who entered the British Islands many millennia ago. More recently, Celts made a great migration several thousand years ago. Then, in the CE, Romans took control of the land, and many remained after the fall of the Roman Empire. Then, in the second half of the first millennium CE, Germanic tribes entered Britain, which culminated in Danelaw by the year 1000. The next inflow was that of the Normans starting in 1066, who assumed a dominant position and brought the French language as the language of nobility. Normans, of course, were mostly Norse, and very much like the Angles, Jutes, and Saxons already residing in England.
After that, it's simply the integration of the various peoples over centuries, but for the most part not influenced by additional inflows of foreign people and cultures until after WW2.
