Sounds like an interesting (and difficult) pilgrimage.

I assume that the penal legislation you refer to was the Ecclesiastical Titles Act of 1871 which abolished the offence of anyone outside the Church of England and Ireland using any episcopal title of any city town or place. It was abolished due to the fact that it was ignored and unenforceable. It didn't stop people walking up a mountain. Its abolition was at more or less the same time as Americans decided to stop keeping each other as slaves.
