After King Henry VIII had separated from the Roman Catholic church he formed the Church of England. Catholic monasteries were closed down and the land sold. Most writing in England had been done by monks, using Latin and Roman numerals. After England's separation from the Catholic religion things associated with Roman fell out of favour. Henry's successor and son, Edward VI, was the first monarch, in 1551, to incorporate a date in modern numbers on some of his coins. Edward VI also popularised the use of the English language in printed books. So it is from this middle Tudor period, the 1540s and onwards, that Latin and Roman numerals fell increasingly out of use.
