The Second Statute of Repeal or the See of Rome Act 1554, was an
Act of Supremacy, passed in 1534.[1] It was supported by the landed classes as it allowed them to keep the monastic land which they had acquired after the dissolution of the monasteries
.
The statutes of repeal were eventually nullified by Elizabeth I's Act of Uniformity 1558.
