Abstract: |
The present building has a medieval core which has been extensively added to, especially during the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries. This study has dated the felling of the oak timbers used in the medieval trusses to the winter of AD 1490-1. The construction is of particular interest for the amount of elm used. The posts, collars, and queen struts were of oak (Quercus spp.), whilst the ties, principal and common rafters, and purlins were of elm (Ulmus spp.). No tree-ring crossmatching was found between the oak and elm, and some of the smaller oak timbers were not dated. |
