first church established in Britain was the Church of England. But even though England had an established religion not all of its occupants agreed on their selection. Being a Roman Catholic was not a crime in Britain, but there was a fine for not committing to the established religion, which meant not attending Protestant services. Paying these fines meant that u did not have to attend service but it did not allow a Roman Catholic to have a priest or worst of all practice the Catholic faith.
