William Tyndale (c 1491 - 1536) made the first Protestant translation of The Bible into English. I believe that the Roman Catholic Church continued to insist that the Bible should only be read in Latin, so Tyndale's was probably the very first English translation. I do not know the exact year he completed his project. Tyndale's New Testament was fully printed in 1526, and the portions of the Old Testament were published in sections during his life but as a group in 1537, the year after his death. However, the Wycliffe translation first appeared in 1382, and there had been earlier partial translations into 7th century Old English before this.
