Tree-Ring Analysis of Oak Timbers from the Frater Roof of Cleeve Abbey, near Washford, Somerset

Author(s): Ian Tyers

A tree-ring dating programme was commissioned of timbers in the Frater roof of Cleeve Abbey, near Washford, Somerset, by English Heritage in AD 2003. The tree-ring results indicate that timbers felled in the second quarter of the fifteenth century are present in the roof. The absence of surviving sapwood prevents a precise felling or construction date from being obtained.
