What was the English church like in 1547?

Interesting question- it had newly become officially converted to the Church of England under King Henry VIII, but 1547 was the year in which he died. The early C of E had very little visible or noticeable differences from the Catholic Church other than that it permitted divorce, and Henry himself believed himself to be a Roman Catholic until he died. So the best answer would be that it was OFFICIALLY Anglican, but in those days the practical differences between the Anglican and Catholic Churches was marginal.
