Manor House, Heighington, Darlington, County Durham: Tree-Ring Analysis of Timbers
Author(s): Robert Howard, Alison Arnold
Dendrochronological analysis of 12 samples from the front range and rear stair wing roofs of the Manor House, Heighington, produced a single site chronology, HEIASQ01, comprising 11 samples and having an overall length of 159 rings. These rings were dated as spanning the years AD 1471–1629. Interpretation of the sapwood on the dated samples would indicate that the roof timbers of both the front range and rear stair wing were cut as part of a single programme of felling some time between AD 1630 and AD 1655.
