Only one person from non-royal family ever sat on England's throne.
Who was he?

Oliver Cromwell. He seized power in the 1600s, and while from an upper class family, his family did not hold a royal title.

~If by "sat on England's throne" you mean held monarchial title, then by definition there was none. Once a king or queen is crowned, he or she is of royalty as a simple matter of logic. If you are speaking of wayward tourists who snuck a squat on the royal chair, I am sure there was more than one but my brother's wife's cousin did that back in '73.

Actually ....
There were more. The Danes were not actual royalty in the classic sense of the word.
Oliver and Richard Cromwell were not royalty either.
But then again...they did not claim to be ON the throne... so...

My first guess is William the Conqueror who came from Normandy and took the crown by force in 1066.

properly i think of they might evaluate them to be socially equivalent as their is an exceptionally sturdy probability that they are blood appropriate! case in point a relative of the ex greek monarchy is the present Queen consort for Spain.
