TREE-RING ANALYSIS OF TIMBERS FROM ST GEORGE'S CHURCH, GREAT BROMLEY, ESSEX
Author(s): Dr Martin Bridge
A number of timbers in the westernmost bay of the seven-bay double hammerbeam nave roof were investigated for their potential for dendrochronological dating. Four cores were taken to confirm the impressions gained from examination of the outside of the timbers. Only two samples taken had sufficient ring numbers to warrant further study, and these remain undated. The opinion was presented that this site should be considered marginal in its likelihood of being dated dendrochronologically, nevertheless it may yield sufficient timbers with a minimum number of rings as work progresses along the length of the nave, and further assessment is recommended.
