The books significance is partly its originality; no book and very few articles or portions of books have appeared solely on pew-renting since the nineteenth century, and even those of that time were not histories they were polemical works that generally attacked pew-renting on religious grounds. This work encompasses the distinction between formal letting of seats which involved the methodical letting of sittings by church authorities with set rents and informal pew-letting, in which congregants tipped pew-openers and sidesmen for favourable seats for one service. It also details the concomitant difficulties and hindrances encountered by churches and renters, the means of setting the rents and collecting the proceeds, the types of congregants who rented pews, thecontroversy the practice provoked, and the deception and bending and sometimes outright breaking of the applicable law.</p>...4703214A History of Pew Renting in the Church of England26952994https://www.gandhi.com.mx/a-history-of-pew-renting-in-the-church-of-england-9783031544279/phttps://gandhi.vtexassets.com/arquivos/ids/4516154/image.jpg?v=638523880852770000InStockMXN99999DIEbook20249783031544279_W3siaWQiOiJiZjdiNjYxZi1jNGE3LTQxOGMtODEyMC1kOGU4ODJmODhmOGEiLCJsaXN0UHJpY2UiOjMwMjEsImRpc2NvdW50IjozMDIsInNlbGxpbmdQcmljZSI6MjcxOSwiaW5jbHVkZXNUYXgiOnRydWUsInByaWNlVHlwZSI6Ildob2xlc2FsZSIsImN1cnJlbmN5IjoiTVhOIiwiZnJvbSI6IjIwMjQtMTItMjFUMDY6MDA6MDBaIiwicmVnaW9uIjoiTVgiLCJpc1ByZW9yZGVyIjpmYWxzZX1d9783031544279_<p>This book is a comprehensive study of the history of pew-renting in the church of England, from the first known rented sittings in the fifteenth century to the systems collapse in the twentieth.
