Tree-Ring Analysis of Timbers from the North Transept Roof, St Nicholas' Cathedral, Newcastle upon Tyne, Tyne and Wear
Author(s): Robert Howard, R R Laxton, Cliff Litton
Eleven samples from the roof timbers of the north transept of St Nicholas' Cathedral, Newcastle upon Tyne, were analysed by tree-ring dating. This analysis produced a single site chronology of ten samples, 181 rings long, and spanning the period AD 1187 - AD 1367. Interpretation of the scant heartwood/sapwood remains on the samples suggests that the timbers represented have an estimated felling date in the range AD 1378 to AD 1413.
