Abstract:
Analysis was undertaken on 55 samples taken from timbers of the south, east and north-range roofs, from floor beams of the ground and first-floor frames, and from two stud posts in the east-range attic, resulting in the construction and dating of two site sequences. The first contains 29 samples and spans the period AD 1380-1559. The second contains 16 samples and spans the period AD 1534-1725. The earliest timbers in the north-range roof are dated to AD 1559. Also dated to the mid-sixteenth century are roof timbers and the stud posts in the east range (AD 1544-69), although this roof also shows evidence for repair in the first half of the eighteenth century. The south-range roof contains timbers felled in AD 1725. Timbers were also dated in the ground and first-floor frames in the south and east ranges. Four elements in the south-range ground and first-floor frames were dated to the late-seventeenth or early-eighteenth centuries, though these frames also contained material dating to the mid-sixteenth century (AD 1547-72). Floor timbers to the ground-floor frame in the east range were also dated to AD 1547-72.
