Abstract: |
Apethorn Fold is the surviving remains of what was once an especially fine cruck-framed farmhouse and shippon. There are four surviving trusses as well as some original purlins and ridge-pieces. It is a grade II* listed building and on the Buildings at Risk register (English Heritage 1999). This report covers the dendrochronological analysis of a series of samples taken from the crucks, and some other surviving timbers. This analysis was undertaken to clarify the dating of the surviving timbers so as to inform listed building consent and repair decisions. The results indicate that the structure was probably constructed within the period AD 1522--42. |
