TREE-RING ANALYSIS OF TIMBERS FROM GOSFIELD HALL, ESSEX

Author(s): Dr Martin Bridge

The attic gallery of the west range survives without any major alteration since its first construction. Timbers from a contemporaneous north range roof, built in a different style, also survive, though this range has been much altered. Stylistically the west range roof has been dated to mid-sixteenth century and there are parallels with other sites. The dendrochronological study shows both roofs to be made from young trees and dates the felling of these trees to the period AD 1547 to 1583.
