The Crown Hotel & 32 Main Road (The Crown Inn), Higham, Derbyshire: Tree-ring Analysis of Oak and Elm Timbers
Author(s): Alison Arnold, Robert Howard
Dendrochronological analysis was undertaken on 22 of the 32 timbers sampled from this multi-element building, the remaining samples having too few rings for secure dating purposes. This analysis produced four separate site chronologies, accounting for a total of17 samples. Only one of these site chronologies, HIHCSQ01, accounting for eight samples, could be dated. This site chronology is 104 rings long, these rings dated as spanning the years AD 1353–1456. These timbers, all common joists to the ground-floor ceiling of the north cottage, have an estimated felling date in the range of AD 1464–89. The five remaining ungrouped individual samples also remain undated
