Most people don't give it much of a thought after they leave school.
Most British people aren't obsessed with the medieval era.
Seems like a stretch to say we are obsessed... Some people might be but we don't all go round think about becoming knights, building castles and saving maidens.
They were our formative years for the modern nation that we are today. Not everyone obsesses over it. Just as I suspect not every American obsesses over the American Revolution.
We are not obsessed with it but that period produced some interesting history and outstandingly beautiful architecture, as in Ludlow for example

You're generalizing.
who says we are obsessed a lot of people find it interesting, but that is totally different to being obsessed
Some sort of BBC thing on TV called Wolfs Hall I think. I do not have a TV at the moment.
Britain are much more interested in Napoleonic era, and the colonial years that followed.
I am not,nor is anyone else I know,
Though it must rile you to know many nations have more than 200 years or so of history
