Dr George Nash, Principal, Archaeology & Heritage, over the past three years has been co-directing one of the largest ongoing dendrochronology projects in the UK. The project has revealed a wealth of information on 35 medieval and early post-medieval buildings in Tilley, a small hamlet in north-west Shropshire. The project, funded by the Heritage Lottery Fund (HLF) included a number of scientific approaches that assisted in the understanding of the histories of each of the buildings surveyed. The results have revealed several ‘spikes’ within the dendrochronological record which tie-in precisely within the documentary and historic records.
