Best shop for.........church pews

Pay a visit to Nick Alpe and Brian Bird's workshop in Petersfield, and you really can invite vistors to 'take a pew'. Pewcorner Woodworks stocks oak and pine pews ranging in age from 50 to 140 years old. Typical lenghts are between 6ft and 20ft, but all can be cut to size. 'Each pew is individual' says Nick. 'Their unusual shapes and carvings create a talking point whatever they style of the building.' Nick and Brian also design and make bespoke furniture and joinery.
