Abstract: |
Analysis undertaken on samples taken from the tower, nave partition, and the roof between the two areas resulted in the successful dating of 31 timbers. The tower contains two timbers felled in AD 1216-41, presumably relating to the primary construction, as well as a series of timbers felled in AD 1445-70, some of which have been reused within an even later phase of work, which are dated by a group of timbers felled in AD 1717. Three of the timbers of the nave partition have been dated, two as being felled in AD 1439-64, making them broadly coeval to the mid-fifteenth century tower timbers, and a third to AD 1509-34, possibly representing alterations to the partition at the same, or similar, time as the dated roof was constructed. The portion of roof located between the nave partition and tower is constructed using timber felled in AD 1521-46. |
