Pootling about around Whitby I came across this. Don't know why the congregation needed to be compartmentalised - St Mary's Whitby is even stranger on this point (but not abandoned). This is maintained by the Church's Trust & hasn't got a phone up key-holder just a road sign saying - "Open church".

& lastly - other people get photos of fantastic cloud formations that apophenia & pareidolia turn into mystical creatures. Me, I get clouds like this.

At the time these places were constructed, or indeed other chapels refitted, to be distracted by friends or everyday matters whilst at prayer was definitely a No No! Thus the proliferation of these family box pews in these places of worship, especially chapels for the more stricter branches of Methodism. Sight of the preacher/minister was all that was needed. The preacher was given sight of a clock sometimes, so that he had some idea how long he had been rambling on for.
