]]> Barn Find Unusual Open Back Oak Victorian Gallery Pews Benches (SOLD) https://churchantiques.com/product/barn-find-unusual-open-back-oak-victorian-gallery-pews-benches-2/ Wed, 18 Jun 2025 14:00:04 +0000 https://churchantiques.com/?post_type=product&p=96421 Yes, we found this in a barn.  Allegedly salvaged from a City of London church that had been damaged in the Blitz.  We have no other details.  We have made repairs and what you have here is a pew that would work equally well in a narrow hallway or a Dickens adaptation.
