The reduction has been effected, partly by the omission of some whole chapters, partly by excisions. The chapters omitted are those upon the Jacobites, the Essayists, Church Cries, and Sacred Poetry--subjects which have only a more or less incidental bearing on the Church history of the period. The passages excised are, for the most part, quotations, discursive reflections, explanatory notes, occasional repetitions, and, speaking generally, whatever could be removed without injury to the general purpose of the narrative.

  • Oxford Dendrochronology Laboratory Report 2017/06 THE
    Oxford Dendrochronology Laboratory Report 2017/06 THE DENDROCHRONOLOGICAL DATING OF TIMBERS FROM GREENHILL FARM, BRYN CELYN, HOLYWELL, FLINTSHIRE (SJ 188 768) Summary Timbers were sampled from principal posts on the ground floor, a ground floor screen and ceiling, a first floor screen and two purlins in the rear range. Two series from the ground floor screen matched each other, but contained a sudden decline in growth two thirds of the way through the series, and these could not be dated. Two other series also exhibited sudden growth declines, and could not be dated. Five series did however match each other, representing the ground floor ceiling, a post, the first floor screen and the purlins, all appearing to have come from trees likely to have been felled at the same time. Two retained complete sapwood, and were felled in winter 1600/01, making 1601 the most likely year of construction, which may also have taken place within a year or two after this date. Authors: Dr M. C. Bridge FSA and Dr D. Miles FSA Oxford Dendrochronology Laboratory Mill Farm Mapledurham Oxfordshire RG4 7TX January 2017 A report commissioned by the Discovering Old Welsh Houses Group in collaboration with the Royal Commission on the Ancient and Historic Monuments Wales (RCAHMW) The Dendrochronological Dating of Timbers from Greenhill Farm, Bryn Celyn, Holywell, Flintshire. (SJ 188 768) BACKGROUND TO DENDROCHRONOLOGY The basis of dendrochronological dating is that trees of the same species, growing at the same time, in similar habitats, produce similar ring-width patterns. These patterns of varying ring-widths are unique to the period of growth.
