Abstract: |
A total of 18 core samples was obtained from a wide range of location within Old Hall Cottage, Twyford, in south Derbyshire. Of this number, 13 cores were measured and analysed (five samples having too few rings for reliable dating). From this material two separate site chronologies, accounting for nine samples, could be formed and dated, with two further samples being dated individually. Interpretation of the dating indicates that the great majority of dated timbers, representing the main structural beams, were cut as part of a single felling operation in 1654. One timber, a common rafter presumably reused in this building, was cut slightly earlier in 1629, with another timber, reused as a principal rafter, being felled earlier still some time between 1572 and 1597 |
