Ostensibly purged from the books by default, as no monarch had granted assent, rather than formally revoked, the legislation passed during the Interregnum has a certain ghostly presence in English legal history. Despite being absent from the offical collection of English law, the Statutes of the Realm, and indeed despite certain of the acts being removed from the record and publicly burnt by the hangman, it nevertheless influenced subsequent laws, and set important precedents. For example, the first relief acts for imprisoned debtors were passed in the 1640s, and later immitated some twenty times across the eighteenth century.

The compilation and publication of the acts was commissioned by the Statute Law Council – which in itself is a mark of offical recognition – in 1899, and finally published in 1911, in three volumes. The first two cover the acts and ordinances, with supporting material gathered in the third. All three volumes have been transcribed and published by British History Online, albeit with some reorganization.
