Abstract: |
Analysis by dendrochronology of 69 samples within Oakham Castle indicates timbers of at least four separate phases of felling are to be found in the hall, north aisle, and south aisle roofs. The earliest phase is represented by a group of re-used timbers with an estimated felling date of AD 1160-85; it is very likely that these are remnants of the original roof and as such make Oakham the earliest hall of any English castle to survive so completely. |
