THE TREE-RING DATING OF THE PORCH HOUSE, 33-5 HIGH STREET, BISHOP'S CASTLE, SHROPSHIRE
Author(s): Daniel Miles, Michael Worthington
Six timbers were sampled at the Porch House, 33-5 High Street, Bishop's Castle, Shropshire. Five of the samples dated individually, and were combined to form a 149-year site chronology PORCHBC, spanning the years AD 1416-AD1564 with significantly improved matches. Precise felling dates of winter AD1564/5 and spring 1565 were produced for the main-range, and a single sample from the cross-wing also produced a felling date of winter 1564/5. The main range includes the unusual use of plank-and-muntin construction in the ground-floor walling
