These pictures show examples of Romano-British and Saxon feet.

Two sets of feet from Lechlade, in Gloucestershire
Left is a pair of Roman-British feet, representing the native population.
To the right is what is probably a 'Saxon' foot

Left. A pair of feet from the Roman cemetery at Corinium (Cirencester).
This is very similar to the pair above left, suggesting that the pair above, though from a Saxon cemetery, probably represent the native popultion

Right. A Bronze Age foot from the Wilsford South barrow. This is typical of the Wiltshire feet found in the Devizes museum, but is different from the Cotswold feet, only 50 miles away.
