Abstract: |
A tree-ring assessment, measurement, and analysis programme was commissioned on a Royal Coat of Arms normally located at the Church of St Mary the Virgin, Westerham, Kent. The Westerham Coat of Arms comprises four horizontal oak boards. Direct tree-ring measurement was undertaken on these boards whilst the Coat of Arms was undergoing conservation treatment in March 2013. The results identified that three of the four oak boards were derived from timbers imported from the eastern Baltic. These timbers were felled after AD 1541, thus supporting its attribution to the reign of Edward VI. Most surviving coats of arms date from James I or later. |
