The Church of England was founded in 1534, when the English church broke away from Rome at the insistence of King Henry VIII
The Church in England did not break away from ,'Rome,' what it did was to point out to the Bishop of Rome that he had no authority to interfere in another Bishop's see!
This is perfectly true, the Ecumenical Councils of Nice, Ephesus and Chalcedon all have Canons bearing on the matter! So much so that the latter had a hard time getting accepted by Pope Leo and it was only the weight of the Catholic Church that made him ungraciously bear with it!
This is what the Church in England did, in effect it took sides with the Orthodox Church who Rome separated from on this issue! As for 'founding,' of the Church? Albanicus the Wise, [Gildas the Celtic Historian,] claimed that the Church was here in 37 AD.
Regarding breaking away? The separation of Rome and the English Church took place in 1570 when the Pope called his supporters [2%] out of the Church in England and set up a branch of his new Trent Church!

∙ 13y agoThe Church has been in Britain since the early days of Christianity. It was here someone suggested by 37AD, the last year of Tiberious Caesar . The first Bishop according to Orthodox sources was Aristobulos the friend of S.Paul who mentions him in the Epistle to the Romans.
Then it was simply known as the Church as there was only one, but later there was a schism in the Church and one section of it obtained a new Archbishop who re-organised the administration and which accepted both Britons and Saxons for membership. It was about seventy years later that the name Anglican was first used in a history written by Bede .It has existed as the national church ever since!
