Abstract: |
Forty-three samples were obtained from timbers of the street front and rear range roofs of both numbers 17 and 19 St Mary's Chare, Hexham. Of these 43 samples, 39 were analysed by tree-ring dating, this analysis producing two site chronologies. The first site chronology comprises 33 samples having a combined overall length of 154 rings, these dated as spanning the years AD 1536 to AD 1689. The second site chronology comprises two samples with an overall length of 79 rings. This second site chronology canot be dated. Interpretation of the sapwood on the dated samples would indicate that the roofs of both the front and rear range of number 17 are constructed of timbers felled in AD 1682. It is further indicated that the roofs of the front and rear range of number 19 are both constructed of timbers felled a few years later in AD 1689. |
