Auld Cottage, Main Street, Norwell, Nottinghamshire: Tree-Ring Analysis of Timbers
Author(s): Matt Hurford, Robert Howard, Cathy Tyers
Analysis by dendrochronology was undertaken on 11 samples obtained from Auld Cottage, Main Street, Norwell, Nottinghamshire. This resulted in the production of a single site chronology, NRWESQ01, comprising all 11 samples, with an overall length of 178 rings, these rings dated as spanning the years AD 1335–1512. Interpretation of the sapwood and the heartwood/sapwood boundaries on the dated samples indicate the timbers used in the construction of the cottage were probably all felled in AD 1512.
