Abstract: |
Analysis by dendrochronology of seven samples obtained from the roof timbers of this house has resulted in the production of two dated site chronologies. The first site chronology, comprising two samples from what is believed to be an original truss, is 73 rings long, these rings dated as spanning the years 1547-1619. Interpretation of the sapwood on these two samples would indicate that the timbers, both principal rafters, were cut as part of a single episode of felling at some time between 1630 and 1635. The second site chronology comprises three samples, all of them from what are thought to be later alteration phase timbers. This site chronology is 106 rings long, these rings dated as spanning the years 1682-1787. Interpretation of the sapwood on these samples would indicate that the timbers were cut in a single episode of felling in 1787. Two further samples remain ungrouped and undated |
