Henry didn't ,'discover,' the Church in England, it had been there some 1500 years. It was thought to have been brought by S, Joseph of Arimathea and S. Simon Zelotes, the brother of Christ! Because of its provenance the English Church was allowed Pre-Eminence at the Western Councils in the four hundred years before the Reformation. S.Aristobulos was marked as the First Bishop of the Church in Britain!
Further, Henry didn't do anything to the land, as far as I can see, but he did sell off the monasteries in to private ownership, about a quarter of the land redistributed! Even more it was bought by catholics who were not above making a quick penny from the Church. Though this was not the only time Kings had done this, Henry Vth had sold off religious houses to pay for the war in France and ,'Catholic,' monarchs on the continent did just the same thing to raise money from the Church and continued to do so until the 18/19th, Cent. Even the pope didn't scruple to use the Church wealth for the use of his private family wars to enrich his nephews!
What Henry did was to make a full job of it, make it so much more complete and he was so much more successful about it!
The Church of England was, probably, amongst the oldest Christian Churches in the Western World, not excluding Rome!
