Church of St Mary, Churchgate, Stockport, Greater Manchester: Tree-Ring Analysis of Timbers from the Vestry Roof
Author(s): Robert Howard, Alison Arnold
Dendrochronological analysis was undertaken on 10 of the 13 core samples obtained from timbers to the vestry roof of the Church of St Mary, Stockport. This analysis produced a single dated site chronology comprising six samples having an overall length of 114 rings. These rings are dated as spanning the years AD 1510–1623. Interpretation of the sapwood on the dated samples would suggest the likelihood that the timbers represented were cut as part of a single episode of felling in AD 1623.
