Abstract: |
Eight samples from the ten extracted from a range of structural elements of this building were dated. They appear to form a single batch of timbers, many having similar heartwood-sapwood transition dates, and were most likely felled at the same time. One timber retained complete sapwood, and was felled in the winter 1535/6. The most likely date of construction is therefore 1536, or within a very few years following. An intermediate truss of uncertain date has been shown to be part of the primary construction of the building. |
