Abstract: |
This building-at-risk is thought on typological grounds to be of sixteenth-century origin. It consists of a storied hall range and cross-wing, both with clasped-purlin roofs. It was hoped that the dendrochronological investigation would be able to distinguish whether or not the two main elements of the building were contemporaneous. The number of rings in the timbers could rarely be determined before sampling as they were often either painted or largely obscured within walls. Most timbers were found to be from very fast-grown oaks, felled before they were fifty years old. Two longer ring-width sequences were very sensitive and could not be dated. |
