Synod of Worcester
The Synod of Worcester (26 July 1240) was conducted at
Virgin Mary—should be a day of rest with no servile work demanded or performed.[3] Also forbidden to clergy was the playing of chess.[2]
These reformations were in keeping with the guidance of the
Fourth Lateran Council
of 1215.
