Abstract: |
Dendrochronological analysis was undertaken on 100 of the 113 samples obtained from this building, producing five dated site chronologies comprising 81 samples. Interpretation of the sapwood indicates a number of different phases of felling of timbers ranging from the late-twelfth/early thirteenth centuries to the late-eighteenth century. A small number of timbers have been identified that may be associated with the early development of the medieval palace of the bishops of Lincoln of which the Bede House is the sole surviving block. The majority of the dated timbers were felled during the fifteenth and early sixteenth centuries and appear likely to be associated with several different documented phases of redevelopment or remodelling of the medieval palace. The later timbers identified appear to be associated with the change of use to an almshouse and subsequent repair works or modifications. |
