The Old Rectory, Yatton Keynell, Wiltshire: Tree-Ring Analysis of Timbers
Author(s): Dr Martin Bridge, Matt Hurford, Cathy Tyers
Dendrochronological analysis was undertaken on 16 of the 17 samples taken from The Old Rectory, Yatton Keynell, Wiltshire. This resulted in the production of four site sequences, YKORSQ01–04, comprising four, two, three, and three samples respectively. YKORSQ01 and YKORSQ03 were both dated: YKORSQ01 as spanning the years AD 1404–92 and YKORSQ03 as spanning the years AD 1190–1293. The results indicate that the dated timbers used in the construction of the hall roof are likely to represent a single programme of felling in the period AD 1300–25, whilst those used in the construction of the attic roof, also likely to represent a single programme of felling, were felled in the period AD 1505–30.
