Abstract:
A tree-ring assessment, measurement and analysis programme was commissioned on timbers from Brooke House. This building suffered bomb damage in 1940 and was demolished in 1954-5. Retained parts of the building are in the English Heritage Architectural Study Collection. Direct tree-ring measurement was undertaken on boards from disarticulated panelling, and cores were taken from structural timbers, including moulded door jambs. The results identified that some of the oak panelling was derived from later sixteenth-century timbers imported from the eastern Baltic. The structural timbers were probably all locally sourced oak and one was successfully dated as felled in AD 1538.
