The practice of renting pews was common in 18th and 19th century churches; members paid a fee for the right to occupy a particular pew every week. This bound manuscript is a record of arrears due to Christ Church and St. Peter's in March 1794. Entries are listed by pew number, with occupant's name, number of seats, sums due and sums paid.
