St Mary’s, Feltwell, Norfolk: Tree-Ring Analysis of Timbers
Author(s): Alison Arnold, Robert Howard
Analysis was undertaken on samples taken from the timbers of the nave roof, resulting in the construction of two site sequences. Site sequence FTWASQ01 contains 17 samples and spans the period AD 1303–1494. One of these samples was felled in AD 1494. Interpretation of the sapwood on the rest of the dated timbers makes it likely these were also felled at this time. These results suggest construction of the nave roof occurred in the last years of the fifteenth century. The second site sequence, FTWASQ02, contains only three samples and is undated.
