1287 Exeter Synod
• “Alas we have heard that, on account of seats in churches, the parishioners are often vexed, two or more persons claiming one seat . . .
• We enact that no one from henceforth may claim a seat in church as his own; noble persons and patrons of churches only excepted. He who for the cause of prayer shall first enter a church, let him select a place of prayer according to his will."
