One of the words that DID get passed on was ceaster from Latin castra meaning camp. A common designation of place as in enclosed camp or city. E.g. Chester, Winchester, Gloucester. This can be, in part, seen as a new sort of Romanization inasmuch as Christianity and Roman code of law held some things in common that the germanic code did not. It s to be noted that a large part of Latin s influence and merger with English had to do with both missionary zeal as well as the people s need for what a christian god offered.
Ideological concerns prevail here.
In a hostile world, a caring loving god brought hope . . . Clergy fell to rich life due to contributions for spiritual favor. Priesthood began to be seen as profitable and drew the wrong sort . . . Because of the renewed literary activity of the Benedictine reform, new Latin words entered English but because of the educational nature of the BR, these words were less religious and more scientific. OE often applied old words to new concepts.
