Abstract: |
Tree-ring analysis of nine out of 10 samples obtained from Coach Road Cottage (one sample having too few rings for reliable analysis) supports the view that the house has undergone periods of redevelopment, and that some timbers are reused. Whilst the latest phase of alteration to Coach Road Cottage detected in this programme of tree-ring analysis uses timber felled between 1709 and 1734, there are also other timbers felled in the mid-seventeenth century and in the late-seventeenth century present. A further timber was felled between 1575 and 1600, and yet another as long ago as between 1501 and 1526. It is almost certain that some of these timbers are reused. Two timbers, however, were felled in 1603, only three years earlier than the leasing of a local coal mine and the believed construction of houses in this area to accommodate colliers. It is possible, therefore, that the primary phase of the cottage must now be some 404 years of age. |
