So far, half of the pews have been removed and after a busy evening, they have gone to good homes.
Thanks are due to those who have taken them home and generously contributed to the project funds.
Thanks are also due to those who were kind enough to transport pews for others.
The remaining pews on the north wall are being removed today and have now all been reserved. There is even a waiting list, in case anyone changes their mind!
As you will see from the photo, the flooring has also been removed. The nave looks very different, I'm sure you'll agree.
You may feel sad that the pews have gone and will be replaced by chairs, but things change all the time. In 1882-1886 the nave was completely refurbished and the high box pews were removed and replaced. Even earlier, there were no pews at all!
