Abstract: |
The main part of Bromley Hall was thought to date to the early sixteenth century, though little was known of its history. A substantial first-floor construction, with moulded beams and hollow chamfered joists and a doorframe, and second-floor with dragon beams, remain from this primary phase. The roof structure was thought to date from the seventeenth century, but this was found to be made from softwood timbers and was not investigated further. Samples were taken from various timbers associated with the primary phase. Seven timbers, all from the floors, crossmatched and were combined into a site chronology which dated against sites from a wide geographical area. Assuming the dated timbers have all come from a single batch of timbers, the most likely felling date range is AD 1482 - 95, suggesting that the primary phase was a little earlier than previously thought. |
