TREE-RING ANALYSIS OF TIMBERS FROM THE MANOR HOUSE, ABBEY GREEN, BURTON UPON TRENT, STAFFORDSHIRE

Author(s): Robert Howard, R R Laxton, Cliff Litton

Dendrochronological analysis was undertaken of samples from twelve oak timbers in the roof and cellar of the Manor House at Abbey Green, Burton upon Trent. This resulted in the production of a single site chronology of 178 rings, spanning the period AD 1162 - 1339. Interpretation of the sapwood on the samples indicates that the timbers they represent have an estimated felling date in the range AD 1340 - 1358.
