    When was the mandatory attendance at Church of England Sunday Services repealed?

    Question #31737. Asked by Rob. (Apr 16 03 5:15 PM)

    		The way mandatory attendance was enforced was by way of the Corporation Act 1661 and the Test Act 1673 (following earlier Elizabethan legislation). These made it next to impossible to hold any kind of office or be in business, or a member of trade guilds etc without taking the Anglican sacrament.

    These Acts were eventually repealed in 1828 which helped non-Anglican protestants. Catholics benefited similarly by the Catholic Emancipation Act in 1829. Jewish emancipation took until 1890 to achieve.
