TREE-RING ANALYSIS OF TIMBERS FROM THE PRESBYTERY ROOF, ABBEY CHURCH OF ST ALBAN'S, ST ALBAN'S, HERTFORDSHIRE

Author(s): Robert Howard, R R Laxton, Cliff Litton

Ten samples from the roof of the south transept were analysed by tree-ring dating. This analysis produced a single site chronology of 112 rings spanning the period AD 1151 - AD 1262. Interpretation of the sapwood on all the dated samples indicates that the estimated felling date for timbers used is in the range AD 1271 - 96.
