THE TREE-RING DATING OF THE CHURCH OF ST MARY MAGDALENE, LITTLE HEREFORD, HEREFORD AND WORCESTER

Author(s): Daniel Miles

Three slices were taken from solepieces discarded during recent restoration work to the nave roof of the Church of St Mary Magdalene, Little Hereford, (SO 554 680). Despite two samples matching together to form a mean chronology of 71 rings, no dates were produced. Only the collars, soulaces, and the underside of the rafters were still visible in situ, but appeared to be of boxed-heart converted timbers with few growth rings, and therefore unsuitable for dendrochronology
