Our current plan is to retain the historic end caps of the caps and then replace the seats, backs and kneelers. Design of the pews will begin in the near future. Pew configuration will change slightly as part of the restoration. We will include several sections for wheelchairs to be placed at ends of pews so individuals can attend services with family and friends. In addition, the secondary aisles will be widened and as a result the outer pews will be shortened to accommodate this change. We expect the overall impact to the capacity of the nave to be minimal.
