Sedilia and Piscina, St. Giles, Cheadle
Modern practice was for the seats to be on one level with the priest sitting in the middle but here Pugin reverted to the medieval arrangement where the priest sits on the left seat, nearest the altar and the deacon and subdeacon sitting to his left on descending levels.
