TREE-RING ANALYSIS OF TIMBERS FROM WALPOLE OLD CHAPEL, WALPOLE, SUFFOLK
Author(s): Dr Martin Bridge
The early phases of this building could not be dated as few timbers contained sufficient numbers of rings and the majority were rejected prior to sampling. A single oak timber from the roof was shown to have been felled in the late-eighteenth century or later. A large circular ?mast' supporting the elm valley-beam was found to be softwood. It has been suggested that it could be re-used from a ship, but further study of its profile is needed to confirm this.
