The Anglican Church in England.

"The Anglican Church" is really just another way of saying "The Church of England." Anglican is an adjective that was used in the same way we today would say English. The Anglican Communion was formed when Henry VIII broke the Church of England away from the pope as its ultimate sovereign. Henry made himself, as King of England, the head of the English church.

Today, there are churches of the Anglican Communion in countries beyond England. But at the time that Henry made his move away from papal control, it was all about him being in charge of the church in England.
