The Church of England has had a complete book of services in English since 1549. The present edition dates to 1662, but it was first compiled in 1549 by Thomas Cranmer. It was comprehensively revised in 1552 to make it more Protestant in spirit, and then again in 1559 as part of the Elizabethan Settlement to make it somewhat less Protestant. The 1559 Prayer Book was used until 1645, when it was abolished by the Long Parliament. It was reinstated after the restoration of King Charles II. It continues to be used today, alongside the new service book, Common Worship. Anglican churches in other countries, such as the United States, have their own versions
