Abstract: |
Tree-ring analysis of six samples obtained from The Grange suggests that two phases of timber felling are represented here. An earlier phase, dating to 1582, is probably represented by one of the ground floor ceiling beams and a beam buried in the south wall of the ground floor. It cannot be proven, but these timbers could possibly represent the remains of an earlier building on this site, or they could simply have been salvaged from elsewhere and be reused here. A later phase of felling is represented by a further ground-floor ceiling beam, and a single roof timber. One timber was certainly felled in 1652, as, probably, was the other. Given the form of the building, the style of the stonework, and that there is no evidence for any later major rebuilding (the house has been extended, probably at a slightly later date, to both the south and the east), it is possible that these mid-seventeenth century timbers represent the construction date of the main body of the building |
