PARISH CHURCH OF WEAVERHAM 'L. ,v 333
These items are very important for they show the work which was being done was to flag the aisles and seat the church. These seats remained until 1877. I well remember diem and in that year when the restoration was being carried out, all the old panels were used again to form the backs and ends of the new seats. The pews were floored with rushes until 1825, when the owners of pews were requested to floor them with boards.
