Old Chapter
The Old Chapter was the body in effective control of the Roman Catholic Church in England from 1623 until an episcopal hierarchy was restored in 1850. Origin The origin of the body known as the Old Chapter, dates from 1623, when after a period of more than half a century during which there was no episcopal government in England, Dr. William Bishop was at length created vicar apostolic.

It continued in force with little change down to the re-establishment of the hierarchy.Ward, Bernard. "The Old Chapter." The Catholic Encyclopedia Vol. 11.
