Abstract: |
Analysis by dendrochronology taken from the main, south and north ranges and ground floor ceiling beams resulted in the construction and dating f three site sequences. The first sequence contains 15 samples and spans the period 1529-1640, the second contains two samples and spans the period 1520-1614 and the third contains four samples and spans the period 1692-1796. Interpretation of the sapwood suggests construction of the main range roof shortly after felling of timbers the timbers utilised in c 1632. The south range roof contains at least two timbers which were felled in c 1617/1622 and other timbers felled in 1651-76; the earlier beams may represent the use of stockpiled or reused timber. The latest dates were found for the timbers of the north range roof, where timbers were felled in 1797-1813. A ground floor ceiling beam in the kitchen (north range) has a terminus post quem felling of AD 1602 |
