158 Watling Street East, Towcester, Northamptonshire: Tree-ring Dating of Oak Timbers
Author(s): Dr Martin Bridge, Cathy Tyers
Eight timbers from the roofs and floors of the L-shaped building on the front (west) of this property were sampled. All were found to form a coherent group felled within the period of spring AD 1805 to winter AD1805/06, making construction most likely in AD 1806, or within a few years thereafter. This is later than the expected date, the building previously being thought to date to the early eighteenth century.
