The Barn, Court Farm, Aylton, Herefordshire Tree-Ring Analysis of Timbers
Author(s): Dr Martin Bridge
Twelve timbers associated with the primary construction phase of the barn were sampled, including crucks, posts, braces, and wallplates. Nine of these timbers were subsequently dated. They appear to form a single group of timbers, most likely felled within a short period. Two timbers retained complete sapwood, both being felled in the winter of AD 1502/3, and it seems likely therefore that the barn was constructed in AD 1503, or within a year or two after this date.
