Abstract: |
Lodge Farmhouse, Chevington, near Bury St Edmunds, is thought to have been built as a hunting lodge in the sixteenth century. There is some confusion about when it was constructed, some documents suggesting that it was built by the widow of Sir Thomas Kyston of Hengrave Hall around AD 1553, whilst others indicate that it may have been built for the Abbot of St Edmund's Abbey about AD 1539. It was hoped that dendrochronology could resolve this question. The oaks used in the construction were found to be very fast-grown, reaching a size suitable for building in only 70--80 years, with the result that converted timbers generally contained less than fifty annual rings and could not therefore be dendrochronologically dated. |
