1711 not 1710 and full act name seems to be more than just New Churches ...

from https://www.british-history.ac.uk/commons-hist-proceedings/vol4/pp226-261 the bill is An Act for granting to her Majesty, several Duties on Coals, for building fifty new Churches in, and about the Cities of London and Westminster, and Suburbs thereof, and other Purposes therein mentioned

See page 230 of The Statutes at Large - Volume 12 - 8 Anne to 12 Anne - 1709 to 1712 https://archive.org/details/statutesatlarge65britgoog/page/n254/mode/2up/ I know it has 1710 in the header but it seems it was really 1711 - 1710 is the old style date

There doesn't seem to be a set way of referring to the act. The reference is Statute 9 Anne, c.22. The History of London refers to it as the The Fifty New Churches Act http://www.thehistoryoflondon.co.uk/the-fifty-new-churches-act/

The Commissions resulting from the legislation was Commissions for Building Fifty New Churches. https://www.british-history.ac.uk/london-record-soc/vol23 https://www.british-history.ac.uk/london-record-soc/vol23/ix-xxxiii
