High Church is usually Anglo-Catholic and will have more formal liturgies. You will might find it more close to a Roman Catholic Church in style. There might be a robed choir and more traditional hymns will be sung.
Low church is more likely to have a more modern service and less formality. It might be what you would describe as broad evangelical and what others might describe as 'happy clappy' but not necessarily.

The High church of England Is very much like the catholic church, bells and smells, the low church Is much more relaxed In the sense of the vicar doesn't have to where there smocks as much and without the weeping and wailing, what takes the lowness out of the low church \is If the parish and congregation votes for It to be a high church, It can not be converted back to a low church, I hope what I have wrote helps you understand more of the difference between high and low church

At this point in history the Church of England has nothing but differences-- what it needs is some kind of unity.
