    The Suppression of Religious Houses Act 1539[1] (31 Hen. 8. c. 13), sometimes referred to as the Second Act of Dissolution[3] or as the Act for the Dissolution of the Greater Monasteries,[4][5] was an Act of the Parliament of England.

    It provided for the dissolution of 552 monasteries and houses remaining after the Suppression of Religious Houses Act 1535.

    The whole act, except section 19, was repealed by section 1 of, and Part II of the Schedule to, the Statute Law (Repeals) Act 1969.

    Section 19 was repealed by section 1(1) of, and Part VIII of Schedule 1 to, the Statute Law (Repeals) Act 1989. The Law Commission and Scottish Law Commission had advised that section 19 was "spent".[6]
