Religious change in England began in earnest during the early 16th century, primarily with the onset of the English Reformation around 1534. This period was marked by King Henry VIII's break from the Roman Catholic Church, leading to the establishment of the Church of England. Subsequent shifts occurred under his successors, notably during the reign of Edward VI and later during Mary I's attempt to restore Catholicism, culminating in the Elizabethan Religious Settlement in the 1550s. These changes significantly shaped England's religious landscape.
