This Wikipedia article traces relations between the Holy See and England or the United Kingdom from the first resident ambassador in 1479 through the 1536 and 1570 ruptures under Henry VIII and Elizabeth I to the 1914 legation and the establishment of full diplomatic relations in 1982. It names no concordat or bilateral treaty at any point in that history, consistent with the Church of England's established status and the UK's dualist constitutional practice, under which no such instrument has ever been sought by either side.
Facts
Assessment
Reliability Tier3
A crowd sourced encyclopedia article used as the weaker relay form; it lays out a long and well documented diplomatic history culminating in full relations in 1982, without naming any concordat, and the UK's dualist legal system, in which an international treaty needs parliamentary implementation to bind domestically, makes the absence unsurprising rather than doubtful, hence the lowest tier rather than exclusion.
