It all depends what is meant by 'spire'. Strictly, a spire is the tapering construction built on top of a tower, sometimes at a later date, and the whole structure is the 'steeple'. even the best authorities get this confused, e.g. Salisbury Cathedral declare that their's is the highest spire in England at 404 feet, but this is actually the overall height, i.e. the steeple.

So far as I know, there is no definitive answer to this question. The architect who said that the third highest spire in England is in Shrewsbury Town Centre, at the Chuch of St. Mary The Virgin, and this is 138 feet high, measured from parapet to c.ock. But he died recently and the source of his information is not known. It continues to be quoted in the literature and by church guides, however.

They were opposed to declaring independence from Britain.

King Henry VIII

The above is a gross over simplification! Henry was Head of the Church because he was in a Country or Commonwealth were some 98/99% of the population were Catholics. Later as heresy and false teaching, entered the system and it spread ,Henry put the belief on a regular basis, but the Monarch, as Chief Magistrate in any country, is head of church as regards the law of the land and his responsibilities at law! The Anglican Church, however, issued a statement limiting the King's headship ,'as far as the ,Law of Christ, allows.' The fact is that the regularising of the position, as mentioned above, has been quite basely misused by the Church's enemies and poor scholarship.

Because it retained the catholic faith and they wanted a Calvinist one!

There were other Separatist's, in 1570, the Roman Church started at Trent reared its head in England after the pope's Bull, declaring a Holy war against Elizabeth. These latter were frustrated because the Church in England wouldn't support the Roman Pontiff in his political adventures. i.e. Putting a foreign king on the English Throne!

Thomas Becket, I think.

John Wesley was a prominent theologian that broke from the Anglican church. He would found the denomination of Methodism, which prescribed a strict, yet faith-based method of entering into a closer relationship with God.

The Protestants wanted to remove all Catholic influences from the Church of England, particularly the Puritans.

The first Protestant king was King Edward VI. He was very anti-Catholic. This lead to conflict with his Catholic half-sister and heir, Mary. Mary had been born before their father, King Henry VIII had broken away from the Roman Catholic Church and had been brought up Catholic. Edward on the other hand was brought up in King Henry's Church of England.

The Anglican Church (the Church of England) is the historical continuation of the Christian Church that was started in the early centuries of Christianity. In the reign of King Henry VIII the Church of England began to separate from being under the jurisdiction of the Pope.

Because he wanted to divorce his first wife and marry Anne Bolyen

He increased the power of priests and bishops and decorated the church.

The people settled this area because they were separating from the Church of England?

While Henry VIII initially defended the faith, he became an adversary when it obstructed him from divorcing his wife, Catherine of Aragon. His failure to produce a male heir with her made him desperate for change. Through his insistence, Parliament enacted laws that curbed the influence of the Catholic Church and made Henry head of the Church of England.

Nothing. Henry VIII needed to form a new church in order to break from the Roman Catholic Church so he could remarry and produce a male heir; a fairly reasonable ambition for his time.

Unfortunately, the monasteries represented the Catholic Church and Henry had little choice but to back his decision with action against them.

History is unclear on the point of whether Henry took pleasure in this; a culured man ir is possible he felt a twinge of regret, but the obligation to ensure his succession would have taken precedence over monks.

The Act of Supremacy made Henry VIII the head of England's church for the duration of his reign.

Henry VIII was the son of Henry VII; the first King to break the long reigning line of thePlantagenet's and the last king to be part of the War of the Roses: a series of struggles in which 7 of the English Kings, from Richard II to Henry VIII, fought for the crown. The term Wars of the Roses was coined from the red and white roses that each signified the two houses of Lancaster and York, from whom the ^ kings prior to Henry VII came. Henry VII was well known and received, b/c he was technically one of the first kings to claim the throne through merit and not through noble birth~ the legend and story reads that he literally picked the crown up off the battlefield and put it on his head. Henry the VII was a frugal and stern leader, and determined to restore peace to the nation. While his claim to the throne itself was somewhat shaky, he stabilized it somewhat by marrying Elizabeth of York, bringing some respect and nobility to the pairing. While his reign was often challenged by usurper's Henry VII had a fairly successful reign, in which he put a stop to the fighting between the Crown and the Barons; and through heavy taxation and fines for misdemeanor's he brought the nobility to heel~ "bridging the transitional period between the Middle ages and the Renaissance" (Kings and Queens of Great Britain Eric. R Trovial et al). King Henry VII had 4 children; 2 girls, 2 boys. Of his boys, The eldest was Arthur, named for the nostalgia and famed court of Camelot; a reign which Henry VII hoped his son, upon being crowned, would usher back in. Arthur was raised from his birth to be a King; groomed, educated and prepared for all the tumultuous tasks and responsibilities that awaited him~ Henry VII, aware that even his son's hold to the crown was still remain shaky at best, pre contracted his son Arthur with Catherine of Argon princess and daughter of the infamous Isabella and Ferdinand of Spain. At the time, France, England and Spain were the three superpower's England, having always been at odds with France, attempted to align themselves under the security of Spain, and this marriage with the epitome of Henry's lifework: not only did he secure his country's safety (France would not likely declare war on England, or try to claim it, while under the protective jurisdiction of Spain); but he also provided his son's reign with a secure claim to the throne, as well and a dynamic marriage that would be consider a pairing of the greats. Henry VIII was raised in a different environment than his brother, Arthur~ he was a bright, well rounded young man who craved education and had a deep interest in theology and was being prepared to enter a life of the cloth. Favored by his mother, he was not groomed to rule, an attribute that later, at least in his early years, only endeared him to the public. Arthur married his his wife, Catherine, but unfortunately died within a few months of the marriage. Unable to pay back her dowry 9or refusing to), Henry VII, still King, left Catherine of Aragon to languish in England and spent the last 6 years of his life trying to prepare Henry VIII to rule, and getting the affairs of England in order. It's debatable how Henry VIII came to marry Catherine of Aragon~ when it was initially suggested by Catherine's family, Henry the VII scoffed at the idea, so it most likely Henry VIII made the final choice. Catherine was several years his senior, but still young and beautiful by all account's and most importantly, swore she had not consummated her marriage to Arthur; a deed that would have presented dire problems to the marriage of Henry as his brother. When his father died, Henry VIII was fairly young, but he was loved and adored by his people, as was his wife. They were considered a magnificent pair; and it wasn't until after 8 miscarriages, only one successful birth Mary that Henry VIII began to start proceedings that would alleviate him of his former wife and allow him to take others. In his middle and latter years, Henry's popularity waned; and he became known as a monster, eventually marrying a total of six times. Of those 6, he beheaded 2, divorced 2,and lost one to childbirth related infections. his final wife, Catherine Parr, outlived him. Out of all those marriages, he had three living heirs; Mary, his first born daughter by Catherine of Aragon; Elizabeth, his second daughter, born by Anne Boleyn; and Edward, his one and only son; born third by his wife Jane Seymour As a male, Edward bore claim to the throne, and upon his father's death, indeed became King~ however, he was a child, only nine years old, and there for, his uncle, also named Edward, was named Protector, and ruled for him in all but name. Weak even in his youngest years, Edward was a sickly child, and a marriage was considered of the utmost importance, however, he died before one actually went through; dying of tuberculosis at the age of fifteen. From there, a squabble over the throne continued; first Lady Jane Grey took the crown, Henry VIII's great niece followed by Mary; Henry VIII's first legitimate daughter (though deemed a bastard during his life); a reign that was infamous for it's pious and cruelty, and garnered Mary the name "bloody Mary". Upon her passing, Elizabeth; Henry VIII's second daughter (also deemed a bastard during his lifetime) ascended the throne, becoming queen for the next 44 years. She never married, and to this day is considered one of England's greatest rulers. After his older brother Arthur died of a sickness, King Henry VIII stepped up, only he was still young.

The Puritans had sought to reform the Anglican Church. They believed that the Church of England had not gone far enough in separating itself from Roman Catholicism, and believed the church still pushed forward a lot of catholic based doctrine.

Henry married another woman called Anne Boleyn, who he then executed because she had completed high treason, adultery, and incest (all federal laws). Then he FINALLY got a son from Jane Seymour but due to complications during his son's birth (Edward II) she died after his birth. But Edward was also effected by the complications, and died as a teenager, being crowned at the age of just 9. so his half sister, Mary II took over, and turned the country catholic again, then when she died, her sister Elisabeth took over and turned the country BACK to being protestants.
