TREE-RING ANALYSIS OF TIMBERS FROM 17 GENTLEMAN'S ROW, ENFIELD, LONDON
Author(s): Dr Martin Bridge
This late medieval hall-house, typical of many in the London region, is dated to the last half of the fifteenth century, based on the results for a corner post and a mid-rail. A second truss is dated over a century later - this originally formed part of an adjacent building which has now been incorporated into number 17. This confirms the dating of the building on stylistic grounds. The timbers of the roof were found to contain very few rings and some elm was used.
