Hartlebury Castle, Near Stourport-on-Severn, Worcestershire: Dendrochronological Analysis of Oak Timbers
Author(s): Ian Tyers
A tree-ring dating programme was commissioned on timbers from Hartlebury Castle. The results identified that timbers in four areas of roof and a bell cupola were datable by tree-ring dating techniques, with these areas using timbers felled during the fifteenth, seventeenth, and eighteenth centuries. This dating programme was commissioned on this Grade I historic residence of the Bishops of Worcester to support casework during its sale and consideration for entry on the Buildings at Risk register. This report archives the dendrochronological results.
