Description
  • Record of pew rents at St. Paul's from 1769 to 1770, and general accounts from 1799 to 1813. The practice of renting pews was common in 19th century churches; members paid a fee for the right to occupy a particular pew every week. Pew holders are listed by name, which are not entered alphabetically. Each entry spans two pages, recto and verso, and includes dates, numbers of seats rented, and sums paid. General accounts of the church start on page 65a, and include salaries for church employees, collections, investments, legacies, mortgages, ground rents, and payments toward an organ for the church.
