Church Temporalities Act 1833

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The Church Temporalities Act 1833 (3 & 4 Will. 4 c. 37), sometimes called the Church Temporalities (Ireland) Act 1833,[n 1] was an Act of the Parliament of the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Ireland which undertook a major reorganisation of the Church of Ireland, then the established church in Ireland.[3] The Act suppressed ten bishoprics and merged the corresponding dioceses, with effect from the next vacancy.

Provisions[]

The Act provided for merging of dioceses and provinces of the Church of Ireland, and the elimination of Vestry Assessment (church rates or "parish cess"), a cause of grievance in the Tithe War, although disturbance persisted until the Tithe Commutation Act 1838.
