I'm a bit behind on reading the B&R, so I've only just seen the news that St Mary's Church is planning to do away with the Victorian pews in favour of stackable chairs.
They have a point - good quality stackable chairs can look very effective, and give the church more options for different layouts now that they are hosting so many musical and other events there. They hope the changes will encourage other community groups to use the church.
It will also give them a chance to check underneath the pews to see if the timbers are sound.
They will also be putting in a new emergency exit to comply with fire regulations.
