TREE-RING ANALYSIS OF UPMINSTER TITHE BARN, GREATER LONDON
Author(s): Ian Tyers
Dendrochronological analysis of fifteen aisle and arcade posts from Upminster Tithe Barn, Greater London, projeced a tree-ring chronology for the period AD 1276-1414. The timbers were felled between AD 1423 and AD 1440. There is a close stylistic affinity between this barn and the nearby barn at Great Tomkyns, Upminster. Since the timbers fron the latter are unsuitable for dendrochronology the felling date range obtained for the Upminster Tithe Barn can perhaps be used as a guide to the construction date of the Great Tomkyns Barn.
