a long chair that you sit in at church...?
The long benches seen in churches are called pews.

The church pew needs a new cushion. We sat together on the pew.
The name "Pou" is pronounced "Pew" like the church pew!

"The church congregation turned to see the giggling boys hop over the back of the pew and escape through the door."
As far as value, it's more about which church it comes from rather than the pew itself. For the most part, an old pew isn't especially valuable.
That would be a New Pew.

A church pew is a long bench used to sit the members of a congregation. The number of people who can sit on a church pew will depend on the length of the pew. The Fire Safety Code in the US allocates a minimum 18 inches per person. A more realistic measurement per person would be 24 inches. The Fire Safety Code also stipulates a maximum of 15 people per pew.
