Abstract: |
Various phases of this building were sampled in March 1997. The timbers were all smoke-blackened by recent fires, and many were more extensively damaged. The cross-wing of the earliest existing phase of the present building, which contains decorative quadrant framing atypical of the London region, was successfully dated, the tree used for the tie having been felled in AD 1562. This confirms the date proposed on stylistic grounds. One timber which now stands on a brick base was felled after AD 1733 and now has to be interpreted as part of a different phase of work on the building to that previously proposed. |
