Abstract: |
This single-aisled barn has undergone many changes during its long life. The present roof, thought to date from c AD 1700 was found to be of softwood construction and was not investigated further. Six aisle posts are present, of which one is a softwood replacement. The remaining aisle posts were suspected of being of different ages, although three show slots for passing braces, suggesting an early origin. This study showed that three central aisle posts all date to the late-fourteenth century. They appear to form a single group most likely felled in the period AD 1380-1. Stylistic similarities between this barn at structures in Snape, Suffolk, and Thetford, Norfolk are of interest. Whilst the Thetford cottage appears to be between twenty-four and forty-five years younger, the barn at Snape remains undated by dendrochronology |
