Abstract:		 A new investigation including; targeted recording of two sample roof trusses and other carpentry details, such as the species and character of the timber used, and evidence for working methods, fastenings and the jointing used was commissioned from MOLA by Dr J. Schofield, Cathedral Archaeologist. It was also an aim to make brief records of reused elements and traces of repair. The investigation on-site was carried out by a small MOLA team, in conjunction with J. Schofield. Accurate measurements were made alongside other records including many photographs and this report aims to provide a detailed summary of the results of that work. It also includes a brief summary of the development of studies into historic timber frame carpentry, a short account of earlier investigations and also provides some interpretive analysis of the evidence recorded, taking account of some of its wider meaning. A high quality general photographic record using powerful lighting was created. In addition, two different representative roof trusses were selected for detailed recording (Trusses 4 in the east and 15 to the west). The key site records comprise carefully annotated sketches with detailed measurements with tape measures and a distometer, wherever possible backed up with rapid snap photographs with scales. Several locations worthy of high-quality photography of fine carpenter's marks, accessible joint details and several tool marked surfaces were selected.
