DENDROCHRONOLOGICAL ANALYSIS OF TIMBERS

FROM STOWE MARIES,

WESTCOTT, SURREY, ENGLAND.

SUMMARY

Stowe Maries is a 3 ½ bay smoke bay house with heavy timbers. It has a continuous jetty, unusual for the area. The roof is of clasped purlin construction with queen struts. One jowl post remains and the walls are arch-braced. There is a small, 2-storey, 2 bay building, 2 ½ metres in front of the jetty called the "Granary", the rafters are smoke-blackened so a detached kitchen is another possibility. Four oak timbers were dated dendrochronologically to form a 155-year site mean chronology (WCOTT-SM), spanning AD 1478 - AD 1632. Two samples with full sapwood recovered from the posts of the house indicate that felling occurred in winter AD 1571/2. A post and tiebeam sampled from the "Granary" are assessed to be from the same felling and full sapwood on one sample indicates that felling occurred in the spring/summer of AD 1632.
