A Parish Church. 39 or benches (facing the altar), which are uncomfortable to sit upon, the backs being too high. The remaining quarter, or chancel, is usually separated from the body of the church by a screen of open wood-work. The altar is placed between the windows in the east end, and is railed round; the space within the rails being about five feet by six. The rails are not uncommonly painted blue. A narrow wooden bench runs round the chancel, which is used exclusively by the male part of the congregation, the women sitting in the body of the church. A large metal baptismal-basin, or dish, hangs upon the wall. On the altar are two candles, which are lighted during the service ; and above it is hung a wretched picture, either of the Crucifixion or the Resur- rection. The altar itself is a little cupboard, or closet, in which the priest’s habiliments are kept, and even candles, and other useful articles are deposited there. The pulpit is built in the screen, and often comes so nearly up to the low roof, that the head and shoulders of the preacher are above the rafters. One-half of the church roof is generally floored, and forms, as I have said, the store-house of the neighbouring farmer, be he priest or layman : and often, in the body of the church, all sorts of attire, both male and female, may be seen hanging on pegs from the walls.
