Church of St Helen, Little Eversden, Cambridgeshire : Tree-Ring Analysis of Timbers from the Bellframe and Windlass

Author(s): Dr Martin Bridge

The windlass structure in the tower was found to contain timbers with too few rings to be considered suitable for dendrochronological analysis. The bellframe contained timbers thought worthy of further investigation and five cores were taken from various elements within it. One core was found to contain too few rings to warrant further analysis. One core had 115 rings, and three others had between 67 and 71 rings. Two series could be cross-matched with each other, but neither the resulting series, nor either of the other series could be dated.
