Description
Notes (some Barbara Williams) on excavations (1974-6) by Dr.D.H.Hill and Mr J.Parkhouse (Manchester University) at the National Westminster Bank site, Nantwich. Also, includes correspondence from P.A. Leggett (Liverpool Polytechnic), concerning dendrochronological analysis. Fifty timbers were removed from the excavations for analysis; the ring width curves of 15 timbers were cross-dated and combined to form a 'floating' chronology for the site which spanned the period 930-1330 A.D. A further note from Ms. Leggett states that three periods of construction are indicated by the presence of sap wood on several timbers which suggests felling dates of AD 1161 +/- 18; 1265 +/-18; 1263+/-18 and 1350 +/- 18.
