I have the happiest memories of the Church of England of my youth. Evensong especially which is a combining of Vespers and Compline.
When I was at University and exams crowded in, I would walk to Church on Sunday evening, the night before an exam, and come away calmed and at peace.
Later I worked at the Retreat House in Chester, alongside the Cathedral (Church of England) and would go early communion and then choral evensong. Happy days that fed and helped me
Never met their like since although the BBC for years had choral evensong every Wednesday… maybe still do.
