DENDROCHRONOLOGICAL ANALYSIS OF TIMBERS

FROM THE HILLANDS FARM,

CHARLWOOD, SURREY, ENGLAND.

SUMMARY

Hillands Farm is in essence a 4 bay hall house with a 2 bay open hall, but the parlour bay is ‘turned’ into a 2 bay cross-wing, all within the rectangular footprint. This is unique in the area.  Both builds had crown-posts, the three in the main build remaining have no down braces. Five oak timbers were dated dendrochronologically to form a 165-year site mean chronology (CHARL-HI), spanning AD 1368 - AD 1532. Four timbers are interpreted as an associated felling. The survival of bark on two timbers indicates that the presumed primary phase of construction occurred in the Winter AD 1532/3 or soon after. An isolated felling date range of AD 1442 to AD 1474 from a centre post in truss A appears most likely to be a reused timber.
