Abstract: |
Fifteen oak timbers from floor-framing, wall-framing, and the roof of the building were sampled. Three series contained too few rings for further analysis. All 12 measured samples cross-matched each other and appear to form a single group of timbers felled at the same time. Precise felling dates of winter AD 1654/55 and spring AD 1655 have been obtained, indicating that construction was most likely in AD 1655, or within a year or two after this date. Photographs were taken of the end-grain of four conifer boards, two from each of two doors in the attic. The ring width series were derived from these photographs. No cross-matching was found between the individual board series, and no acceptable consistent cross-dating was found. |
