Church of St Mary, Alton Barnes, Wiltshire: Tree-ring Analysis of Timbers
Author(s): Alison Arnold, Robert Howard, Cathy Tyers
Analysis was undertaken on a series of samples from timbers in the nave roof, resulting in the construction of a single site sequence. Site sequence ALTBSQ01 contains 14 samples and spans the period AD 1203–1372. Interpretation of surviving heartwood/sapwood boundary ring dates gives a likely felling date for all 14 dated timbers within the range AD 1380–1405.
