DENDROCHRONOLOGICAL ANALYSIS OF TIMBERS

FROM HIGHWORTH FARM,

CHARLWOOD, SURREY, ENGLAND.

SUMMARY

The first build at Highworth Farm was 4 bays, with 2 open. The hall is unevenly divided (2.1m. and 3.4m.) There is double arch bracing at the dais end and long braces to the open truss – unusually decorative for the area. The roof is of clasped purlin and queen strut construction and is also unusual in an area where most of the open halls are of crown-post construction. Seven oak timbers were dated dendrochronologically to form a 106-year site mean chronology (CHARL-HF), spanning AD 1420 - AD 1525. Five samples dated are consistent with an associated felling and indicate that the first build occurred as a single phase between AD 1510 to AD 1531. Additionally a felling date range of AD 1534 - AD 1566 for a spine beam supports building evidence that this timber formed part of a later floor insertion.
