Description
A dendrochronological survey was carried out as part of an ongoing project to renovate and research Beeleigh Abbey. Sampling was undertaken on the selected structural elements using a 15mm diameter hollow corer attached to an electric drill. The sample gaps were filled with oak plugs and stained to a near colour
match. The assessment and sampling was undertaken at the property on a number of separate occasions as additional areas of interest were revealed by building works within the house. Thirty samples were taken from the dorter, frater and timber framed wing.
