In some churches, pews were installed at the expense of the congregants, and were their personal property; there was no general public seating in the church itself.

 AFRMA - The Pink-Eyed White Rat
Because any litter of PEW babies are all going to be white, type and size are THE factors that should be used when choosing breeding stock.

This is how Himis are made, but keep in mind that if you use a PEW that is genetically Hooded, you will get a litter of babies with no color on their feet and possibly none on their tail.

Conversley, some churches were fitted with uniform box pews throughout, while some of these may have been owned by families, or held as possessions of farms in the parish all, or others, would be available to the general congregation.
In churches with a tradition of public kneeling prayer, pews are usually equipped with kneelers in front of the seating bench so members of the congregation can kneel on them instead of the floor.
