Abstract: |
Dendrochronological analysis was undertaken on six of the 15 core samples obtained from both roof and ground-floor timbers of 31 High Street, Droitwich, nine samples having too few rings for dating. This analysis produced a single site chronology comprising two samples, both of them from posts of the screens passage. Although this site chronology, with an overall length of 48 rings, cannot be dated, it is highly likely that the two timbers are coeval. Interpretation of the sapwood on one individually dated sample would suggest that the timber, a purlin, was felled at some point between AD1403-28. Three measured samples remain ungrouped and undated. |
