Following the removal of civil powers in 1894, the vestry meetings continued to administer church matters in Church of England parishes until the Parochial Church Councils (Powers) Measure 1921 Act established parochial church councils as their successors.

This is sometime referred to as the "annual vestry meeting". All other roles of the vestry meetings are now undertaken
