TREE-RING ANALYSIS OF TIMBERS FROM THE CHAPEL OF ST JAMES, KERSEY ROAD, ROSE GREEN, LINDSEY, SUFFOLK
Author(s): Dr Martin Bridge
An assessment was made of the suitability of the timbers of the roof of this thirteenth- century chapel for dendrochronological analysis. The oak timbers, thought on stylistic grounds to be of late fifteenth- or early sixteenth-century date were all found to be fast-grown. Four samples were extracted in order to confirm the impressions gained from the external appearance of the timbers, but none contained sufficient rings to warrant further analysis.
