St Mary’s Church, Tunstead, Norfolk: Tree-Ring Analysis of Timbers from the Nave Roof

Author(s): Dr Martin Bridge

Twelve samples were taken from the nave roof. A sample from the principal rafter and arch brace of the same truss were found likely to have been cut from the same tree. A number of potential statistically identified matches between the samples were explored, but visual comparisons of the plots found these to be unacceptable, and all the timbers remain undated.
