Solution

The individual who tried to restore elements of Catholic ritual to the Church of England was Oliver Cromwell.

After the English Civil War, Cromwell led the Puritan faction and sought to impose a more austere form of worship, distancing the Church of England from its Catholic roots. However, during the later period of his rule, as Lord Protector, he attempted to unify the various factions and tolerated some traditional practices in order to maintain a semblance of stability in governance. This led to some restoration of the more traditional rituals within the context of the established church, though his era is often marked by the significant push from the Puritans to eliminate practices they deemed overly Catholic.

In summary, although Cromwell was primarily associated with Puritanism and reform, he navigated the complexities of restoring some Catholic-like practices within the Church of England during his rule.
