The Vestries Act 1850 (13 & 14 Vict. c. 57) was an act of the Parliament of the United Kingdom to regulate the local government of parishes in England and Wales.
The vestry of a parish could resolve to request the Poor Law Board (later updated to Local Government Board) to order provision of suitable accommodation within a year of the order so that vestry meetings could take place outside of the parish church. A paid vestry clerk could be appointed using a similar mechanism.
The whole act was repealed except for London by section 307(1)(b) of, and the fourth part of the eleventh schedule to, the Local Government Act 1933 (23 & 24 Geo. 5. c. 22).
The whole act was repealed by the London Government Order 1965, made pursuant to the London Government Act 1963.
