Tree-Ring Analysis of Timbers from 66 Church Street, Tewkesbury, Gloucestershire
Author(s): Nigel Nayling
This report describes the results of dendrochronological analysis of samples taken from this Grade II listed town house undergoing repair through the Heritage Economic Regeneration Scheme, which on stylistic grounds was previously believed to date to the sixteenth century. Four samples taken from roof and wall frame timbers associated with the primary phase of construction were dated and all probably felled in the winter of AD 1474/5. The building therefore appears to be slightly earlier than the expected sixteenth-century date.
