The Puritans.
If we are talking about the cathedral, it is an Anglican Cathedral within the Church of England, but whose tradition is 'high' church Anglican.
To get an answer to your question, you would have to specify what period of the Church you were looking at. There have been people reforming the Church in England for many centuries.
Christianity within the Church of England is still the largest. Sometimes called the Anglican Church.
Just as it is here in the United States, Christianity is the highest practiced form of religion practiced in England. It will more than likely always be at the top though there are many other religions throughout the country as well.

The main religious difference between the Separatist and ordinary Puritans was their stance on the Church of England. Separatists believed in completely separating from the Church of England and forming their own independent congregations, while ordinary Puritans wanted to reform the Church from within.
The Puritans came to power during the English Civil War after they came out in opposition to William Laud, the Archbishop of Canterbury at the time. They called for reform within the Church of England, that would eliminate Bishops, and set up the Church of England along Presbyterian guidelines. The English Civil War is sometimes known as the Puritan Revolution.
Traditional Anglican's are upset with the Church of England! The Church in England has historically been a Catholic Communion within the Body of Christ! With the Ordination of Women the Church of England appeared to have abandoned Holy Tradition and put in its place a liberal approach rather than Christianity!
