TREE-RING ANALYSIS OF THE ROOF OF THE SAMWELL WING AT FELBRIGG HALL, FELBRIGG, NORFOLK

Author(s): Ian Tyers

The roof of the late-seventeenth century Samwell wing at the National Trust's Felbrigg Hall, Felbrigg, Norfolk, is currently undergoing repair, grant-aided by English Heritage. This report covers the dendrochronological analysis of a series of oak timbers within the roof which was undertaken to clarify the dating of the surviving timbers so as to inform repair decisions. The results indicate that the present structure is the product of a single phase of construction dated to AD 1684/5.
