English mythology

English mythology is the collection of myths that have emerged throughout the history of England, sometimes being elaborated upon by successive generations, and at other times being rejected and replaced by other explanatory narratives. These narratives consist of folk traditions developed in England after the Norman Conquest, integrated with traditions from Anglo-Saxon mythology, Christian mythology, and Celtic mythology.

Celtic elements related to England, and are typically regarded as within the corpus of Cornish mythology, Welsh mythology or Medieval Welsh literature form part of the Matter of Britain.
