Abstract
This roof of 22 trusses is scissor-braced with notched lap joints and shows many features characteristic of thirteenth-century roofs, in particular with those at Gloucester Blackfriars. Eleven timbers dated, of which two were found to have been cut from the same tree. The empirically derived likely date range for the felling of the group of timbers used for construction of the roof is AD 1277–1309. A Bayesian derived combined felling date range for all eleven timbers is AD 1284–92 (95% probability). It is most likely that the trees were used very soon after felling in this relatively humble building. This dates the probable construction of the roof some decades later than the similarly-styled Gloucester Blackfriars roof.
