England was born in Gay, West Virginia, on September 29, 1869, to the former Mary Welch and her husband Andrew J.S. England. He attended the local schools, and in 1892 graduated from Concord Normal School in Athens, West Virginia. After teaching school for several years, and then England attended law school at Southern Normal University in Huntingdon, Tennessee. he graduated in 1898.

After being admitted to the bar in 1898, England began his legal practice in Oceana, West Virginia. In 1901 England moved to Logan, West Virginia (the county seat of Logan County, West Virginia), where he continued to practice law. In 1903 voters elected England as mayor of Logan. In 1908 he won election to the West Virginia Senate, serving from 1908 to 1916, and including as Senate President in 1915. Because West Virginia has no Lieutenant Governor, the Senate President is next in line to the governorship. As a result, England attended the first meeting of all the lieutenant governors in the United States in 1915. When they convened at Rhea Springs, Tennessee, England was chosen to preside.

In 1916, England won a statewide election and became Attorney General of West Virginia, serving from 1917 to 1925. In 1923 he was elected president of the Attorney Generals' Association of the United States. In 1924 he was an unsuccessful candidate for the Republican nomination for Governor.
