Corporation Act 1661

The Corporation Act 1661 was an act of the Parliament of England. It belonged to the general category of test acts, designed for the express purpose of restricting public offices in England to members of the Church of England.

Subsequent developments
The act remained nominally in force throughout the eighteenth century. It was eventually replaced by Sacramental Test Act 1828 (9 Geo. 4. c. 17), the year before Catholic Emancipation. Sections 1, 4–6, 11 and 12 of the act were repealed by section 1 of, and the schedule to, the Statute Law Revision Act 1863 (26 & 27 Vict. c. 125), which came into force on 28 July 1863. The whole act was repealed by section 1 of, and part 1 of schedule one to, the Promissory Oaths Act 1871 (34 & 35 Vict. c. 48). == Notes ==
