On October 20, 1443, the Provincial Council of Armagh convened under Archbishop John Swayne to address issues concerning ecclesiastical governance and the condition of parish church structures in the diocese. The council discussed the necessity of reforming clerical conduct and enhancing the divine worship within the church. Specific concerns were raised about the dilapidated state of church altars and the misallocation of funds intended for church repairs. The document serves as a formal record of the council's proceedings and decisions aimed at improving church integrity and functionality.
