Description (What the record is about)
-
The Test Act of 1673 excluded from civil or military office all those who were not members of the Church of England. As a result the holder of a civil or public office was required to present a certificate confirming that he had received communion in the Church of England. The certificate was signed by a minister, churchwardens and two witnesses.
This catalogue records the name of each office holder, place of residence and in some cases the type of office held. Some of the sacrament certificates do not specifically mention the place of residence, and in those cases the parish of the minister and churchwardens is noted.
