Church of St Lawrence, Moat Lane, Towcester, Northamptonshire: Tree-ring Dating of Oak Timbers in the West Tower
Author(s): Dr Martin Bridge, Cathy Tyers
Four large beams supporting the ceiling to the ringing chamber were sampled. Only one was dated, giving a likely felling date range of AD 1468–1501. This may suggest that the tower was constructed in this period, and thus further elucidates the development of the porch and clerestory.
