Description

Timber Sampling (19 samples, 16 cores and 3 graticule readings). Samples of reused timbers of the roof of the North Chancel Aisle indicate a felling date of spring 1716. The samples from the misericords produced a suggested felling date of 1325 – 1350. Samples from the “Bread Pews” did not date with satisfactory consistency.
