Abstract: |
Analysis of 20 oak samples taken from timbers removed from the surviving west wing of Lathom House, a Palladian-style house with documentary evidence for medieval precursors and later alterations, led to the dating of two groups of timbers. An early group of five timbers, dated to the late-fifteenth century, were felled after AD 1475, indicating reuse of timbers possibly from a house associated with Thomas Stanley and dated on documentary grounds to c. AD 1490. A second, later group of six timbers, were dated to the mid-eighteenth century. Estimated felling dates for this group indicate a probable felling range of AD 1736-?64. Hence these could be associated with the construction of the Palladian-style house by Giacomo Leoni, dated on documentary evidence to AD 1724--40. |
