Ordinarily, a Catholic should only receive Holy Communion in a Roman Catholic Mass. Most other churches are not in communion with the Pope and disagree on certain doctrines, and so have removed themselves and established themselves as a separate church. Catholics believe that because of this, their communion is not the Body, Blood, Soul, and Divinity of Jesus Christ. To participate in their communion would mean that one would be participating in their service, which would be to deny the Catholic Faith's teachings on the Eucharist, etc. Therefore, a Catholic usually cannot receive communion in these churches. There are possibly some exceptions - see your local Catholic priest to learn about it.

However, this is against the normal practice of the church, and in the vast majority of Anglican churches anyone who normally receives communion in their own denomination are welcome to receive communion in an Anglican church.

Aside from all that, Catholics to not "take" Holy Communion, they "receive" Holy Communion.
