Henry VIII wanted a divorce from Katherine of Aragon so he could marry a younger woman and have a son. Katherine had one girl but the rest of her children died in infancy. So to marry Anne Boleyn, he needed a divorce. The Pope would not give him a divorce because he did not want to anger Phillip of Spain. So Henry started his own church which in addition to being able to get a divorce, he was able to take over all church property. Those churches he didn't use, Henry took the lead out of their roofs and left the buildings standing with no roofs.
