There never was a Prime Minister of England. At the time of the first prime minister England was part of the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Ireland.

The first prime minister of the UK was Robert Walpole (1676-1745). His period of office lasted from 1721-1742.

(The term 'prime minister' had no official standing in Britain till 1906. It was a more a nickname for the chief minister, who held the office of First Lord of the Treasury. However, there is unanimous agreement among historians that Walpole was the first prime minister of a cabinet style government responsible to Parliament).

British Prime Ministers Sir Robert Walpole is considered to be the first Prime Minister, as we understand the term today. He served from April 1741 to February 1742. He was the Prime Minister of The United Kingdom of Great Britain, which includes England but is not the same as England.

Due to the gradual evolution of the post of Prime Minister, the title is applied to early Prime Ministers only retrospectively; this has sometimes given rise to academic dispute. William Pulteney, 1st Earl of Bath and James Waldegrave, 2nd Earl Waldegrave are both sometimes listed as Prime Ministers
