Tree-Ring Analysis of Timbers from the Molineux Hotel, Wolverhampton, West Midlands
Author(s): Dr Martin Bridge
Oak timbers were sampled from two main areas of the building, the basement and the 'Rococo Room'. Only two basement timbers matched each other, of which one retained complete sapwood, and was found to have been felled in the winter of AD 1754/5. Series from four ex situ timbers from the 'Rococo Room' matched each other, and a further three floor timbers formed another group, but neither of these, nor any other timbers dated conclusively.
