7 Market Street, Chipping Norton, Oxfordshire: Tree-ring Analysis of Oak Timbers
Author(s): Dr Martin Bridge, Cathy Tyers
Ten samples were taken from timbers in the attic rooms, and two samples were taken from the first-floor ceiling beams. Three timbers contained fewer than 30 rings and were not analysed. The remaining timbers showed abrupt growth changes, but at least two pairs appear likely to have each been derived from the same parent tree. The erratic growth patterns are potentially the result of management of the trees. None of the samples dated.
