For Scotland, it is easy to give a date - 1560. For England and Wales, the situation is complicated. Although Henry VIII broke away from Rome in 1534 and made himself head of the Church of England he resisted the Reformation and only allowed limited changes. After his death in 1547, England embraced the Reformation during the reign of Edward VI (1547-1553). On his death, Mary I ('Bloody Mary') did her utmost to reverse the Reformation. In the 1560s a series of (often awkward) compromises were made in what is called the 'Elizabethan Settlement'. At the time, Wales moved more or less in step with England on religion, but later became predominantly non-conformist. Early in next century, puritanism emerged as a growing force ... This is very brief and simplified. I hope someone will add more detail.

There have always been varies 'parties', especially the High Church party and the Evangelicals in the C of E. The influence of the Evangelicals became quite strong after the Glorious Revolution. However, its real stength dates from the Evangelical Revival that started around 1785. It was not until the 1830s that this was followed by a High Church revival.
