SUMMARY

While the social and building history of the manor house known as The Vyne are well documented, much less is known about the historic roof structures, and the carpentry and construction techniques used there. Archaeological recording and analysis, including tree-ring dating, of the main areas of the roof complex revealed phases of development, together with features and construction techniques of particular interest. Elements of the early 16th-century roofs survive and demonstrate advances in building techniques and quality of materials. The reuse of early oak timber in later roofs contributes to our knowledge of the earlier buildings on the site and available timber resources.

概括

虽然被称为 The Vyne 的庄园的社会和建筑历史有据可查，但人们对历史悠久的屋顶结构以及那里使用的木工和建筑技术知之甚少。屋顶综合体主要区域的考古记录和分析（包括树木年轮年代测定）揭示了发展阶段，以及特别有趣的特征和施工技术。16 世纪早期屋顶的元素幸存下来，展示了建筑技术和材料质量的进步。在后来的屋顶中重复使用早期的橡木木材有助于我们了解现场早期的建筑和可用的木材资源。
