Henry VIII removed England's church hierarchy away from that of the Vatican, so that the bishops worked for him instead of the Pope. Having sent the monks home from the Monasteries and sold the buildings, he decided not to make the Church Protestant but instead keep the teachings largely the same as the Catholic Church.
After his death, the family of his successor the young Edward VI introduced Protestant teachings and persecuted those who wished to remain Catholic. After his early death, his eventual successor (and sister) Mary I brought the Church back into the Roman Catholic church and persecuted Protestants. She also died early, and her sister Elizabeth I took the church pretty much Protestant again, but with much less persecution.
It is still a Protestant church, but still retains some Catholic traditions you wouldn't find elsewhere in Protestantism.
