Yes, historically, people in England were required to pay taxes to support the Church of England. This was part of the established church system, where the church was funded through a tax called tithes, which was typically one-tenth of a person's income.

While the obligation to pay tithes has diminished over time, the relationship between church and state has remained significant in England.
