Union of Benefices Act 1860
The Union of Benefices Act was legislation which prevented the need for other Acts if following its prescribed three-stage scheme. It enabled reduction of the number of parish churches and vicars/rectors in London's "Metropolis", as defined by a narrower Act five years before. It instead allowed commissions to recommend dissolution to various parties, which would then be a formality agreed by Order-in-Council. It was chiefly used for, that is within, the City of London. as its residential population declined in favour of commercial land use in the second half of the 19th century.
