The Old Friary, Friars Lane, Beverley, East Riding of Yorkshire: Tree-Ring Analysis of Oak Timbers

Author(s): Alison Arnold, Robert Howard, Cathy Tyers

Tree-ring analysis of samples taken from oak timbers of various structures within The Old Friary, Beverley resulted in the construction and dating of a single site sequence. This site sequence contains five samples from timbers of the Common Room roof, all reused, and spans the period AD 1050--1220. Interpretation of the surviving sapwood suggests felling of these timbers occurred in AD 1226--51.
