Holy Trinity Church, North Tidworth, Wiltshire: Tree-Ring Analysis of Timbers from the Belfry Floor and Bellframe
Author(s): Dr Martin Bridge
A total of eight timbers, representing seven trees, were dated from both the belfry floor and the bellframe. These appear to form a single group of timbers most likely all felled at the same time, although there is a spread of some fourteen years in their heartwood sapwood boundary dates. Likely felling date ranges for timbers from both the belfry floor and bellframe are therefore in the early decades of the sixteenth century making the construction of the belfry and bellframe, or at least a major phase of work, likely in this period.
