Building record 2838/2/14 - Possible C17th House & Attached Granary

{1} House and granary of squared coursed limestone with Collyweston slate roofs.

{2} In centre of stable yard is 2-storey granary & house of C17th or early C18th date.

{3} Building present in 1778.

{4] One of the timber samples retained complete sapwood with a last measured ring date, and thus a felling date, of AD 1563. Overall the heartwood/sapwood boundary, where it existed, varies in date by 15 years. This, combined with a number of same-tree matches between the timbers, implies a single programme of felling dating to around AD 1563 but, bearing in mid the latest heartwood/sapwood boundary date of AD 1558, it probably spanned several years in the mid AD 1560s.
