church pew
Sunday morning seat
A church pew is a long wooden bench with a back, arranged in rows to seat congregants during religious services.
Pews are fixed in place, unlike chairs, and typically face the altar or pulpit.
We slid into the back pew just as the sermon began.
The term often evokes traditional Christian worship settings.
