The Church of England Temperance Society was founded in 1862 under chairman Archbishop Tait and was reconstituted in 1873. The organization strived to lobby against alcohol use and promoted total abstinence. The Church gained a substantial following of 200,000 members across 7,000 different branches. The organization would later join with the National Police Court Mission to form The Church of England Council for Social Aid in 1969.
