Tree-Ring Analysis of Timbers from The Grange, Grange Park, Northington, Hampshire
Author(s): Dr Martin Bridge
This seventeenth-century house was thought to have been built between AD 1665–73 before later being remodelled as one of the earliest Greek Revival country houses in Europe. Dendrochronology was commissioned in an attempt to refine the construction date still further, although many of the primary timbers proved to be inaccessible. Two timbers matched each other and have a likely combined felling date range of AD 1649– 81. A third minor timber had no sapwood, and was not dated.
