Cranmer was a genius in composing wonderful texts and in translating from the Latin.His theology was in a state of flux, though, and in the end he was beyond Lutheran andskirting Reform.
There is a very small denomination here in the USA that derived from TEC.  It is calledthe Reformed Episcopal Church. and theologically it is pretty run of the mill Evangelical.They do retain the hierarchy and the church calendar, however.  There was a congregationand small church  here in our mountain valley which I used to attend on occasion, especiallyin bad weather.  They celebrated Communion from the north side of the altar.  Unfortunatelyit suddenly closed.

Cranmer introduced this in the 1552 Book of Common Prayer, with the 
communion table placed lengthwise in the chancel (aligned east-west), 
the priest on the north side and the people gathered around on the east, 
south and west.
