Brook Hall, 27 Broad Street, Leominster, Herefordshire: Tree-ring Dating of Oak Timbers

Author(s): Alison Arnold, Robert Howard, Cathy Tyers

Dendrochronological analysis was undertaken on samples taken from this building resulting in the successful dating of 15 timbers from the main and north range roofs. The results demonstrate that the two ranges are broadly contemporary, utilising timber felled in AD 1570–95 (main range) and AD 1575–97 (north range). A small number of timbers from a potentially secondary phase is undated.
