If by "C of E" you mean "Church of England" then, yes, that baptism would be recognized as valid since the Anglican Church utilizes a trinitarian baptism for the purpose of making one a member of the Body of Christ, just as the Catholic Church does.
In addition to the above correct answer, while the sacrament of baptism is a Christian sacrament (not denominational) and should transcend all denominations, some Roman Catholics do not accept this. According to the most of the rest of the Christian Church, Baptism is baptism as a Christian as long as a person is baptised in the name of the Father, Son and Holy Spirit, as the above describes. Any baptism should be valid across the Christian Church if it is Trinitarian in this way. Baptisms that are not Trinitarian (eg similar ceremonies in the Mormon or Jehovah's Witnesses organisations ) are not regarded as baptism as instituted by Our Lord at the end of Matthew's gospel in his 'Great Commission': "All power is given unto me in heaven and in earth. Go ye therefore, and teach all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Ghost: Teaching them to observe all things whatsoever I have commanded you: and, lo, I am with you always, even unto the end of the world." That said, though, while the baptism may be valid, Roman Catholics will still not recognise the receipt of bread and wine at Holy Communion (the 'mass') unless the recipient is baptised - and especially confirmed, where the candidate is schooled in the Roman Catholic faith as an older child or adult and his/her baptismal vows are retaken - as a Roman Catholic. Most protestant Churches employ an 'open table' approach to visitors where all are welcome to receive the sacramant of Holy Communion if they normally would so so in their own church. In my own church (C of E) we go a stage further and never refuse the sacrament to anyone as we invite 'anyone who loves the Lord Jesus' to receive, as it is not our right to refuse anyone. However, because of the necessity of believing doctrines peculiar to the Roman Catholic Church before receipt of mass, Roman Catholics will not allow a non-Catholic to receive, nor do they allow the receipt of other Catholic sacraments (the five others not specifically instituted by Our Lord) of extreme unction, matrimony, ordination, confirmation, penance, unless baptised a Roman Catholic.

Can you receive any Sacraments if not married in the Catholic Church?
In the Catholic Church, the Sacaments build on each other throughout a person's life:
Traditionally, these four are done first and in this specific order:
Baptism
Confession
Eucharist
Confirmation
_______________________
After that, you can receive either of the following:
Matrimony (if you so desire)
Holy Orders (if you so desire)
_________________
Annointing of the Sick can be done at any time it is necessary.
However, many Churches will look the other way about giving their Sacraments. My father wasn't Catholic, and my mother had to ask three churches before finding one which would baptize her children. This was back in 1983, but Church attendance has dwindled so much that the clergy no longer ask many questions where the Sacraments are concerned. So, you technically still can receive the Sacraments. There might be some clergy who refuse to give them to you, but there will be lots of others who really don't care one way or the other.

The necessity of sacraments varies among different Christian denominations and individual beliefs. For many, sacraments are essential as they serve as means of grace, deepen one's faith, and foster community within the church. Others may view them symbolically or as optional expressions of faith. Ultimately, the significance of sacraments depends on personal conviction and theological perspective.
How and why are the sacraments grouped together?
Because they are the seven sensible signs instituted by Jesus Christ to impart grace and inward sanctification to the souls of people. Every other similar thing is referred to as a sacramental, as it is like a sacrament but was not instituted by Jesus Christ.
What does the sacrament of reconciliation give us?
The Sacrament of Reconciliation (or Confession) restores peace in our lives by giving us forgiveness of our sins and reconciling us with God. If one approaches the Sacrament with the correct attitude, one will come out of the confessional knowing that your sins have been forgiven and that you are once again in a state of Grace. And the knowledge of being in a state of Grace brings peace, as if you die in the state of grace, that is, in God's friendship, you will either immediately or after a time in the state of purification be admitted to the bliss of the Beatific Vision in heaven.
