I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'seat in church' is the definition.
(I've seen this before)

I don't understand the remainder of the clue.

(Other definitions for pew that I've seen before include "Part of flock sitting here" , "Long bench in a church" , "Long church seat" , "Where some of the flock rest" , "Bench-like seat in a church" .)

I've seen this clue in The Sun.
