WOOD IDENTIFICATION AND TREE-RING ASSESSMENT OF TIMBERS FROM AN EARLY SASH WINDOW AT PALACE HOUSE MANSION, NEWMARKET, SUFFOLK
Author(s): Ian Tyers
Dendrochronological analysis of timbers from a recently discovered and apparently early example of a sash window was commissioned by English Heritage. Assessment of the window showed that no suitable samples could be obtained from the frame that could assist with dating the item by reliable dendrochronological techniques. A series of wood identification analyses were undertaken on the frame and some of the later timbers used to cover the frame.
