English church ??
Sir Thomas More remained loyal to the Catholic Church even after King Henry VIII broke away from the Church to establish the Church of England. After his execution, he was canonized as a saint in the Catholic Church.
The Church of England
The Pope stopped speaking to King Henry VIII because Henry requested an annulment of his marriage to Catherine of Aragon, which the Pope refused to grant. This led Henry to break away from the Catholic Church and establish the Church of England with himself as the head, causing a rift between him and the Pope.
Answer The Church of England was established by King Henry VIII of England in 1534 (EDIT)
Henry VIII set up the Anglican church when the pope wouldn't give him a divorce.
If you are speaking of Henry VIII, then that would be the Church of England, also known as the Anglican church.
I don't know about Henry VII establishing a church, but Henry VIII was excommunicated from the Roman Catholic church and subsequently the Church of England was established. Henry wanted a divorce from Katherine of Aragon so that he could marry Anne Boleyn. This caused a lot of problems, not least of which was the question of divorce being, well, out of the question. I realise my answer is daubed with quite a wide brush and lacking detail, but I'm sure Hedley can fill in the gaps!
