Abstract: |
A tree-ring dating programme was initially commissioned on a number of timbers recovered during repairs to the south transept roof of the church of St John the Baptist, Bradworthy, Devon, by English Heritage in AD 2002. Subsequently addidtional work was undertaken during repairs to the westernmost trusses of the nave. The tree-ring results indicate that timbers felled in the later part of the fourteenth century are present in both areas of the roofs. The almost total absence of surviving sapwood prevents precise felling or construction dates being obtained. |
