Muniment Room, Melbourne Hall, Melbourne, Derbyshire: Tree-Ring Analysis of Timbers
Author(s): Robert Howard, Alison Arnold
Tree-ring analysis was undertaken on samples taken from the timbers of the roof of this structure resulting in the construction and dating of a single site sequence. Site sequence MELDSQ01 contains all 12 samples and spans the period AD 1601–1708. All timbers represented appear to have been felled in AD 1708 confirming that this roof forms part of the AD 1709 remodelling of the building.
