 Arthur Featherstone Marshall wrote a trenchant parody of the Church of England's Convocation debates in his pseudonymous "The Comedy of Convocation of the English Church" (1868).Its characters include Deans Blunt, Pliable, Primitive, Pompous and Critical; Archdeacons Jolly, Theory and Chasuble; and Doctors Easy, Viewy and Candour.Lay representation developed from the House of Laymen, which first met in connection with the Convocation of Canterbury in 1886 (York, 1892), and formally in legislation in the Church Assembly (1919) and General Synod (1970).
