Fahan Presbyterian Church

Jesus is Lord - Romans 10: 9

Layout of Family Pews 1926

It was traditional that each family had a specific pew. In some churches (although not Fahan) the family tended to the gravel beneath their own pew. Below is the plan of Fahan Presbyterian Church from 18th December 1926.
