? I know of no English language Mass used in Catholic England before the era or Henry VIII. Edward VI introduced the Common Book of Prayer and that led to the Prayer Book Rebellion when the Cornish resented being forced to pray in English. If I am not mistaken, the Anglican Use is mostly a 16th century English translation of a liturgy or liturgies rather than an actual codified Mass text in English dating back to the 16th century.

Wasn’t the Sarum/Salisbury Rite done in English? I have never seen it, but I thought it was the Latin Mass in English.

"The Anglican Use parishes use the Book of Divine Worship,which is based on the 16th-century Book of Common Prayer written by Thomas Cranmer. The Book of Divine Worship is a total resource for former Anglicans. Cranmer’s version of the Psalms is retained, and traditional Anglican services like Morning and Evening Prayer are authorized for use. In the liturgy of the Eucharist, most of Cranmer’s memorable and beautiful prayers are retained, but placed in the correct order and subjected to the doctrinal demands of Catholic liturgy."
