Act of Uniformity 1552

Act of Uniformity 1552

The Act of Uniformity 1552 was enacted in 1552 by Edward VI of England. It was one of the many steps taken by Edward and his councillors to make England a more Protestant country. It replaced the Book of Common Prayer authorised by the Act of Uniformity 1549 with a revised and more protestant Book of Common Prayer.

Anyone who did not attend a service where this liturgy was used faced six months imprisonment for a first offence, one year for a second offence, and life for a third. This Act was repealed by Mary in 1553.
