Garrick Inn, 25 High Street, Stratford-Upon-Avon, Warwickshire: Tree-ring Analysis of Oak and Elm Timbers
Author(s): Dr Martin Bridge, Cathy Tyers
Only a limited number of those timbers of interest were considered potentially suitable for dendrochronological analysis, or other scientific dating techniques. Nevertheless, three oak timbers from the first-floor front range were dated, giving a likely felling date range spanning the late-sixteenth to early seventeenth centuries, in line with the expected date of about AD 1596. An oak beam in the cellar exhibited bands of narrow rings and could not be dated, and timbers in the stair range which projects south into the neighbouring property were found to be of elm.
