Abstract/Summary

Report on tree-ring analysis, undertaken of the oak timbers from the interior of Sneath's Mill, at Lutton Gowts. Dateable samples were obtained from the first and second floor structural frames, the central post, and a window lintel at first floor level. The analysis identified that all of these timbers were cut in the late 1720s, possibly as part of a single felling episode. These dates would seem to support the previously postulated theory that the builders of Sneath's Mill re-used timbers from an earlier structure during their construction work in 1779.
