Abstract:
Tree-ring analysis of samples from nine oak timbers at The Grove, Ruyton XI Towns, indicates that the earliest phase of felling is represented by the two southern purlins to the roof of what is now the rear, or northern, range of this double pile house. These timbers were felled between early March and early May 1684. A later phase of felling is represented in the ceilings of the first and ground floors to this rear range. The timbers used for these elements are estimated to have been felled between 1787 and 1812, and are almost certainly related to the development and 'Georginisation' of the building stylistically dated to the late-eighteenth century. From the samples analysed three site chronologies were created. The first, RYTASQ01, comprises two samples, both from the front or south purlins of the roof to the rear, or north, range. This site chronology has an overall length of 122 rings which can be dated as spanning the years 1562-1683. The second site chronology, RYTASQ02, comprises five samples, all from the ceilings. This second site chronology has an overall length of 110 rings which are dated as spanning the years 1673-1782.
