Best Answer

The Venerable Bede first translated the Gospels into Saxon, a precursor of English; in the seventh century, but Wycliffe is the first man credited with translating the whole Bible into English in the thirteenth century. Both these translations were made in England. Wycliffe's translation was the precursor of the Kings James Version of 1611, which was the first modern language translation of The Bible; also made in England.
