St Martin’s Church, Alfreton, Derbyshire: Tree Ring Analysis of Timbers from the Belfry Floor
Author(s): Alison Arnold, Robert Howard
Dendrochronological analysis undertaken on samples from the belfry floor has resulted in the construction and dating of two site sequences. The first contains two samples and spans the period AD 1413–1560. Interpretation of the heartwood/sapwood boundary ring date of these two samples suggests they were both felled in AD 1575–95. The second again contains two samples, and spans the period AD 1546–1607, with the two timbers represented likely to have been felled in AD 1619–39.
