Not only are the worms the best thing you could have in your yard, but since you live in England, be proud. Charles Darwin wrote a book based on his experiments of earthworms and their castings which is still quoted to this day. Just be careful as to what chemicals (fertilizers, pesticides, herbicides, etc.) you apply to your yard. Check with your dealer for safety regarding the health of the earthworms and you'll enjoy a fine lawn for years to come.

Wonder what Charles Darwin used for grubs or chinch bug or cut worms?

You can live with them, or you can kill the worms. Of course, the worms are very beneficial to your lawn.
