Langley Abbey, Langley with Hardley, Norfolk: Tree-Ring Analysis of Timbers
Author(s): Robert Howard, Alison Arnold
Analysis undertaken on samples from the former west cloister and former stables of Langley Abbey resulted in the construction of two site sequences. Site sequence LNGLSQ01 contains three samples and spans the period AD 1313–1424 and LNGLSQ02 contains 26 samples and spans the period AD 1436–1611. Interpretation indicates that the roof of the former west cloister contains timber felled in AD 1605–30. The south end of the former stables has a truss constructed from timber felled in AD 1433–58, whilst the rest of the dated timber from this building is late sixteenth and early seventeenth century in date.
