Tree-Ring Analysis of Timbers from the Bellframe, Church of St Mary, Church Street, Attleborough, Norfolk
Author(s): Dr Martin Bridge
Samples were taken from various elements of the bell frame, and one of two foundation beams, thought to be of thirteenth century date. The sample from the foundation beam did not match the others, but neither did it give consistent matches against the reference material, and it remains undated. Seven of the longer series from the frame matched each other and were combined into a 97-year long site chronology dating to the period AD 1418-1514. The most likely felling date range for these timbers is AD 1520-35.
