Abstract: |
Eight core samples were obtained from the timbers to the roofs of the front wing and rear range of the Old Manor House, Long Clawson, along with four samples from the ceilings to the first and ground floors of the rear range. Analysis by dendrochronology of these cores resulted in the production of a single dated site chronology comprising 11 samples, this site chronology being 162 rings long, these rings dated as spanning the years 1441-1602. Interpretation of the sapwood on the dated samples would suggest that the timbers of the two roofs and the first floor ceiling of the rear range were felled as part of a single episode of felling undertaken at some point between, say, 1610 at the earliest and 1615 at the latest. The ground floor ceiling beams of the rear range (ie, to the kitchen), however, would appear to be somewhat earlier, these having an estimated felling of circa 1580 |
