Abstract:
Dendrochronological analysis was undertaken on 33 samples obtained from the nave and chancel roofs of St Mary's Church, Neen Savage, as well as from the porch. They produced two site chronologies. One site chronology, comprising 22 samples, can dated, its 306 rings spanning AD 1227-1532, while the second site chronology, comprising three samples, is undated. The remaining eight samples are ungrouped and undated. Interpretation of the sapwood on the dated samples indicates that the nave timbers have an estimated felling date of AD 1412-37, while the chancel timbers have an estimated felling date of AD 1424-49 and the two tiebeams were not felled before AD 1390. These timbers are likely to have been felled for a single programme of building works, although possibly not all at the same time as each other, with work on the chancel following on almost immediately from that on the nave roof. The dated timbers from the porch have an estimated felling date in the range AD 1547-72.
