Before the Protestant Reformation, churches were generally not furnished with pews. It was only in the mid to early twentieth century when pews were rented out to individuals and families in churches. This was a common practice then among Presbyterian, Anglican and Catholic churches and a way for them to raise income. Today, it is popular among private homes to use antique church pews. They use the church pews in the dining area or entryway as benches. Many people simply feel good about using a part or piece of a church in their home.
