Is anyone familiar with The Book of Common Prayer, As Amended by the Westminster Divines A.D. 1661?

The title is a little misleading, since it is not actually produced by the Westminster Divines. However, it's a fascinating adaptation of the Book of Common Prayer with much explicitly episcopalian content removed. The Westminster Shorter Catechism is also included.
I was wondering if someone could enlighten me concerning its history. I know it was compiled by a man called Charles Shields, apparently based on exceptions and suggestions at the Savoy Conference, but I'm interested to know to what extent this is the case.
Edit: Is it possible to change thread titles? There's an apostrophe which shouldn't be there
