Plan of Family Seats 1890s

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 that appears to be from around 1890/ 1900.

 
The seats are numbered anti clockwise from the rear right hand corner then up the centre from the back.

No. 1 to 17 up the right hand side starting at the back.
No. 18 to 34 down the left hand side from the front to the rear left hand back corner.
No. 35 to 48 is up the centre from the back to the front.
The pulpit is at the front centre. There is one seat (15) allocated to the choir.
