Abstract: |
Tree-ring analysis was undertaken on samples taken from timbers of the roof and ground floor of this farmhouse, resulting in the successful dating of 14 of them. The timbers of the roof are now known to have been felled in AD 1396-7, demonstrating that the house was constructed at the end of the fourteenth century. A ground floor doorframe was constructed of timbers felled in AD 1507-32 and is likely to be coeval with a fireplace bressummer beam felled in AD 1515-32. These represent a secondary phase of building work. |
