Henry didn't go looking for it. When the Pope wouldn;t grant him a divorce, Henry formed the Church of England with himself as its head. He then realised that he now ;owned' the various church estates. He ousted the nuns and monks and gave many of these estates to persons (middle and upper class) who had supported him re the divorce situation. There is a lot more to this but this is the short answer.

The Black Death, which occurred in the 14th century, had already significantly weakened monastic influence and resources long before Henry's reign.
