When I was last in England I visited a number of cathedrals which used the Howe 40/4 chair. These included Christopher Wren's St Paul's Cathedral in London and Salisbury Cathedral (pictured above). I'm also aware that Southwark Cathedral and Ely Cathedral also use these chairs. While in Oxford I really liked the welcoming entrance placed on St Aldate's church and their flexible interior (pictured below). The design of the Howe 40/4 chair is from the early 1960s and a real classic and very beautiful chair. Check out their website
here.

They look great, are they comfortable?
I understand from reviews that they are surprisingly comfotable given they have no cushioning. I suppose it is an example of a chair being just as suitable as a pew for a church building!
what a beautiful church.it's full of peace.
