The Twelve Conclusions of the Lollards is a Middle English religious text containing statements by followers of the English medieval sect, the Lollards.[1] The Conclusions were written in 1395[1] by followers of John Wycliffe.[citation needed] The text was presented to the Parliament of England and nailed to the doors of Westminster Abbey and St Paul's Cathedral.[1] It was presented by some of the more influential leaders of the sect and, while it gives important insight into the Lollards' beliefs, it was not an official document.[citation needed] Many Lollards did not share all of the beliefs set forth in the document.[citation needed]
