Description

Dendrochronological dating of this building complex was attempted by Martin Bridge in 2005, to inform a programme of detailed recording during repairs to the building. The lack of rings (only three had 50 rings or more) in the majority of timbers (9 samples from the primary timbers), however, precluded dendro dating.<1>
