Tuckers Hall, 140 Fore Street, Exeter, Devon: Tree-Ring Analysis of Timbers
Author(s): Alison Arnold, Robert Howard, Cliff Litton
Analysis by dendrochronology of 17 out of 20 samples obtained from this site (three samples having been rejected) has produced a single site chronology, comprising seven samples, having an overall length of 87 rings. These rings are dated as spanning the years AD 1356–1442. Interpretation of the heartwood/sapwood boundary on the samples would indicate the timbers have an estimated felling date in the range AD 1451–76. Such a felling date is consistent with the date of construction obtained from the documentary evidence.
