TREE-RING ANALYSIS OF TIMBERS FROM THE EAST ROOF OF THE WEST RANGE OF THE CLOISTER, WELLS CATHEDRAL, SOMERSET
Author(s): Robert Howard, R R Laxton, Cliff Litton
Twenty-six samples from the roof of the west range of the cloister at Wells Cathedral were analysed by tree-ring dating. This analysis produced a single site chronology of twenty-three samples, having 147 rings and spanning the period AD 1319 to AD 1465. Interpretation of the sapwood on all the dated samples would suggest that the timber represented has an estimated felling date in the range AD 1475 - 80.
