Tree-Ring Analysis of Oak Samples from Bushmead Priory, near Colmworth, Bedfordshire

Author(s): C Groves, Christine Locatelli

Seven sections were removed from six timbers in Bushmead Priory during repair work in AD 1981. These were subsequently analysed by David Haddon-Reece though the analysis remained unpublished. This report describes the reanalysis of the timber sections. Only one timber contained sufficient rings for analysis. This timber is thought to represent a purlin associated with a dormer and was felled in the period AD 1709-41.
