Isaac newton was credited for building the reflecting telescope in 1668. The reflecting telescope design is now very widely used by amateur and professional astronomers, because the cost per square inch of aperture (diameter, the light gathering power) is less than the other designs.
The Reflecting telescope was invented in the 17th century. The Italian professor Niccolò Zucchi is credited with making the first reflector in 1616, and the design was perfected by the English physicist Sir Isac Newton in 1668, with the addition of a small "diagonal" secondary mirror near the primary mirror's focus to reflect the image 90° to allow the user to view the image without obstructing the incoming light.
The telescope was invented first in 1608. If you want to know more about the telescope see related links below.Though there is some conflict over who, exactly, invented the first telescope, the earliest working models seem to have been invented by Hans Lippershy in 1608. Just a year later, Galileo was using these devices to do incredible research, helping him discover that the sun was rotating-- fully convincing them that the Heavens were governed by predictible movement, leading to his later assertion that the Earth moves around the sun. This timely invention played a vital part in our intellectual history.Galileo built a 20 power telescope, the first telescope capable of being used for astronomy, in 1609.
Thomas Harriot (c. 1560 - 2 July 1621) was an English astronomer, mathematician, ethnographer, and translator. Some sources give his surname as Harriott or Hariot or Heriot. He is sometimes credited with the introduction of the potato to Great Britain and Ireland.[1] Harriot was the first person to make a drawing of the Moon through a telescope, on July 26, 1609, over four months before Galileo.[2] After graduating from Oxford University, Harriot traveled to the Americas on expeditions funded by Raleigh, and on his return he worked for the 9th Earl of Northumberland. At the Earl's house, he became a prolific mathematician and astronomer to whom the theory of refraction is attributed.
Issac Newton was an English physicist and a mathematician. Before getting involved with physics and mathematics, Newton stayed with his mother in Woolsthorpe-by-Colsterworth, where his mother wanted him to become a farmer. However, Newton did not like farming and soon rejoined school to complete studies.

Invented by English mathematician Robert Recorde. That's all i know.

It wasn't an English man but it was a Welsh mathematician by the name of Robert Recorde who in 1557 invented the equality symbol and it has 2 equal parallel lines
The light bulb was invented in 1800 by Humphrey Davy. Humphrey Davy was an English scientist who also invented the electric battery.
