Abstract: |
Analysis by dendrochronology of three oak samples from the single remaining truss of a late-medieval replacement roof to the first-floor hall range of Vaughan's Mansion, and of three oak samples from the roof of the cross-wing range, has resulted in the production of two separate site chronologies. The first site chronology comprises all three samples from the timbers of the medieval replacement roof to the hall range, and has an overall length of 201 rings. These rings are dated as spanning the years 1269-1469. Interpretation of the sapwood on the samples would indicate that all three timbers are derived from trees felled very early in the spring of 1470. The second site chronology comprises all three samples from the roof timbers of the cross- wing. This site chronology has an overall length of 182 rings, these dated as spanning the years 1441-1622. Interpretation of the sapwood on these samples would indicate that all three timbers are derived from trees felled very early in 1623. |
