Abstract:
Two beams supporting the bellframe were sampled but could not be dated. Nine bellframe timbers were sampled and found to cross-match, with three pairs of timbers each being found to have been derived from an individual parent tree. Thus, six series were combined to form a site chronology that was subsequently dated to the period AD 1579-1665. One timber retained complete sapwood and was found to have come from a tree felled in the summer AD 1666, whilst a second tree had detached sapwood, with very few missing rings, suggesting a felling date in the period c AD 1666-70. The other samples have similar likely felling dates and thus appear to be coeval, suggesting construction of the bellframe also occurred in the period AD 1666-70. Fragments of roof timbers and a screen were not sampled as they were found to have too few rings.
