DENDROCHRONOLOGICAL ANALYSIS OF TIMBERS

FROM CHANTERSLUER,

CHARLWOOD, SURREY, ENGLAND.

SUMMARY

The Victorian exterior of Chantersluer Farm conceals a very fine medieval three bay cross-wing building. The roof was hipped at the front but gabled at the back, good crown-posts remain. There is an adjoining but more fragmentary 2 bay open hall. Ten oak timbers were dated dendrochronologically to form a well replicated 152-year site mean chronology (CHARL-CH), spanning AD 1382 - AD 1533. Nine samples could be treated as an associated felling, and bark on two of the samples produced a felling date of Winter AD 1507/8. Building analysis indicates the adjoining 2 bay open hall is coeval with the cross wing, and one spot date helps to confirm this interpretation. The felling date range for a bressummer timber suggests that the central chimney was inserted between AD 1541 - AD 1573.
