Abstract:
Tree-ring analysis was undertaken on 46 of the 54 samples obtained from oak timbers within the spirelet to the south-east transept, the roof of the north-west transept, and the roof of the 'Bakehouse' within St Anselm's Tower at Canterbury Cathedral. The remaining eight samples had too few rings for reliable analysis. Interpretation of the sapwood on the dated samples indicates that four of the timbers from the spire have an estimated felling date in the range 1097-1122, whilst two others here have an estimated felling date in the range 1257-82. The timbers of the Bakehouse roof appear to represent a single phase of felling dated to 1383. None of the samples from the roof of the north-west transept can be dated.
