The History Of Pews

""The History of Pews: A Paper (1842)"" by John Mason Neale is a historical work that explores the origins and evolution of pews in Christian churches. The author provides a detailed account of the development of pews, from their earliest use in medieval churches to their eventual adoption by Protestant denominations. Neale discusses the various types of pews that were used throughout history, including box pews, open benches, and modern seating arrangements. He also examines the social and cultural implications of pew usage, including the role of pews in shaping religious practices and social hierarchies. This book is a valuable resource for scholars and students of religious history, as well as anyone interested in the evolution of Christian worship practices.""This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
