Actually the U.S. Bill of Rights uses several tenets of the English Bill of Rights of 1689, but it would be fair to say that none were directly borrowed as the English rights were vastly different in form and intent, and most applied only to members of Parliament.
Those adopted tenets are:
The right of Parliament to petition the Crown without retribution
An independent judiciary (the Sovereign was forbidden to establish his own courts or to act as a judge himself)
Freedom from taxation by royal (executive) prerogative, without agreement by Parliament (legislators),
Freedom [for Protestants] to bear arms for their defense, as allowed by law,
Freedom to elect members of Parliament without interference from the Sovereign.
Freedom of speech in Parliament
Freedom from cruel and unusual punishments and excessive bail
Freedom from fines and forfeitures without trial
Because these English "rights" were mostly intended for Parliament and not necessarily for citizens, and certainly not for colonists, the U.S. Bill of Rights uses many of these as a basis of fundamental rights that every State, and when noted, American has, and cannot be changed or modified by Congress.
A common misconception is that the Bill of Rights grants rights, but it doesn't. The U.S. Bill of Rights secures rights that every American is automatically born with.
