The Church of St Mary the Virgin, Cleobury Mortimer, Shropshire: Tree-Ring Analysis of Timbers from the South Porch Roof
Author(s): Dr Martin Bridge, Daniel Miles
A total of seven timbers, representing six trees, from various elements of the south porch roof were crossmatched and dated. All retained the heartwood/sapwood boundary and one also had two sapwood rings. The likely felling date range for the combined series was found to be AD 1212–42, making this one of the earliest dated roofs extant in the county.
