PEWS IN THE NAVE

West Grinstead - West Sussex

Oak pews which even today show the names of sixty six farms and great houses round the parish. With the exception of two great houses there was room for one person's name only. Originally there were eighty five names. Each owner or tenant supposedly sat in the appropriate pew, with wives sitting behind in the rear of the nave. The servants attended evening service, but history does not recall where any other family sat.
