Around the 6th to 7th Century in this Country was the first possible recording in LAtin scriptures of a creature that could be described as a werewolf, otherwise the first recognisable one that I have heard of is the tales of wicked daemons and witches written in the 13th century
However the continent have verbal tales going back further of people who where creatures during the night and people by day and vice versa.

England's unpopular King John, who reigned from 1199-1216, is said to have been a werewolf. A Norman chronicle describes how monks, hearing sounds from his grave and believing him a werewolf, dug him up and took his body out of consecrated ground.

I'm not sure when it was first recorded, but this might be a significant part of the origin of the tales:
