Tree-Ring Analysis of Timbers from the Church of All Saints, Church Street, West Ham, London Borough of Newham
Author(s): Dr Martin Bridge
Seven phases of roof construction were identified as being of interest in this grade I listed church. Two of these roofs were identified as being made of softwood and of likely nineteenth- or early twentieth-century origin. A single tie beam from the north aisle was felled in AD 1384 or soon thereafter, some decades before the aisle was thought to have been built. Although many timbers were investigated from other roofs, none of these had sufficient rings to be dated dendrochronologically.
