Abstract: |
Tree-ring analysis was undertaken on samples from the roofs of the nave, south aisle, and porch at this church resulting in the dating of a single site sequence. Site sequence LSSASQ01 contains 14 samples and spans the period AD 1546-1614. The five dated timbers from the nave roof comprise three rafters from the east end of the roof felled c AD 1616 and two reused collars, also from the east end, felled in the period AD 1581-1606. Eight dated timbers from the south aisle roof, including six rafters and two collars, were all probably felled during the period AD 1605-40. In addition the timber removed during repairs, which supported the valley gutter has an estimated felling date range of AD 1581-1606. Four other site sequences remain undated but one of these demonstrates that there are reused timbers from the nave and aisle roofs that are coeval with non-reused rafters from the nave, whilst another shows that at least five of the backing rafters in the nave roof represent a single felling episode. |
