This topic is still disputed today. It appears John Wycliffe and associates translated the Latin Vulgate into English with Wycliffe doing the New Testament in 1382 and associates the Old Testament in 1384. However, credit is usually given to William Tyndale's translation of the Greek and Hebrew text in 1526 - though the OT was not fully completed until after his death in the Matthew Bible.
In either event, these two scholars were strong advocates of the Bible being translated into the common venacular - in this case English. This was highly disagreeable to the Roman Catholic Church as they saw themselves and their Church as the sole institution on the divine word. Religious freedom is what caused many to come to the New World.
