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 This Act was repealed by Mary in 1553.
