TREE-RING ANALYSIS OF OAK TIMBERS FROM THE ROOF OF 3-3A VICARS' COURT, LINCOLN

Author(s): C Groves, J Hillam

Tree-ring analysis provided a felling date range of 1289-1334 for the remains of the original medieval roof at 3-3A Vicars' Court, which is situated within Lincoln Cathedral Close. A similar felling date range was obtained for the reused medieval timbers which were inserted from another building when 3-3A was re-roofed in the seventeenth century. The primary timbers for the new roof were felled in 1663/4 or just after.
