It was Roman Catholic until King Henry VIII split from the Roman Catholic Church and started the Anglican Church (Church of England). It was very similar to Catholicism in its worship practices but it incorporated some Protestant reforms. His daughter Mary I tried to return the English Church to Roman Catholicism, but there was much opposition to that.

Elizabeth I created the Elizabethan Settlement which emphasized continuity with Catholicism but kept some reforms. It became established as a state church, which it still is today.

King Henry III like all of Europe at the time followed the Catholic religion so he did not get 'rid of the monastaries' ....
