The aisles formed a cross with the pulpit in the center of the cross. Pew # 1 was at the inside left lower corner of the arm of the cross, the numbers ran through #13 back the center aisle to the rear door, then came back up the center aisle ending with #26 at the right across from # 1. #Ős 27-30 were vertical pews behind #26-22. They ran to the door on the right arm of the cross, then crossing in front of the right door, #31-39 ran back towards the center pulpit along the front church wall. There was a break at the top of the cross (where the pulpit is now located), then #40-48 continued across the front of the church to the left door. Crossing the aisle in front of the left door, #49-52 ran vertically back to # 1. They only extended behind pews #1-5. Sketches of the 1794 and 1894 seating plans can be found on pages 102 and 104 EgleŐs article.]
