[Note: The pew arrangement in 1794 differed from the current
arrangement. The aisles formed a cross with the pulpit in the center
of the cross. Pew # 1 was at the inside left lower corner of the arm
of the cross, the numbers ran through #13 back the center aisle to the
rear door, then came back up the center aisle ending with #26 at the
right across from # 1. #s 27-30 were vertical pews behind #26-22.
They ran to the door on the right arm of the cross, then crossing in
front of the right door, #31-39 ran back towards the center pulpit
along the front church wall. There was a break at the top of the cross
(where the pulpit is now located), then #40-48 continued across the
front of the church to the left door. Crossing the aisle in front of
the left door, #49-52 ran vertically back to # 1. They only extended
behind pews #1-5. Sketches of the 1794 and 1894 seating plans can be
found on pages 102 and 104 Egles article.]
