That's tough to answer, since there weren't -- and never have been -- any rainforests in England in the first place. Therefore, they can't disappear. Unless, of course, you mean the lush prehistoric flora of the Mesozoic Era -- which still doesn't technically count as rainforest, but that's the closest England ever got to rainforest. Those disappeared with the same climate change which wiped out the dinosaurs. However, that would really have to be "disappeared" as opposed to "disappearing," as the process finished at least several hundred thousand years ago.

Or perhaps you are just referring to the general deforestation of the British Isles? That's an expected phenomenon any time growing populations of human beings expand over limited areas of land. But by no stretch of the imagination could any wooded areas of England be called "rainforest." Just because it rains in the forest, even seemingly all the time, does not a rainforest make.
