Abstract: |
Analysis was undertaken on samples or in situ measurements from roof timbers, boards, and pews at this church. The earliest dated roof is that of the Priest's Chamber, utilising timber of AD 1438-60. The Porch roof contains timber felled in AD 1487-1512, whilst that of the Vestry roof was felled in AD 1499-1524. Six nave ceiling boards have a terminus post quem for felling of AD 1467 and four pulpit boards, a terminus post quem for felling of AD 1591. Eleven type A1 pew bench ends are constructed of timber felled in AD 1584-1605, whilst one has a terminus post quem for felling of AD 1659. The majority of the type A2 pew bench ends were felled in AD 1590-1615 but two are later having a terminus post quem for felling of AD 1634 and felling date range of AD 1704-29 respectively. The dated type B pew bench ends were felled in AD 1583-1613 and AD 1620. Several of the dated samples from pew type F bench ends were felled in AD 1588-1613, whilst the others are later, including one that was felled in AD 1712-37. Finally one of the bench ends from an ex situ pew stored in the boiler room has a terminus post quem for felling of AD 1637. |
