100% pre Black Death houses now done
At last! I have finally surveyed all the pre-Black Death (pre1348) buildings dendro dated in Hampshire. I have done about 90% of the buildings dated 1350-1530 also. The remaining 10% I cannot do as the homeowners either have refused permission or simply just ignored my requests. That means though I have surveyed about 100 buildings dated between AD1244 and 1530 in Hampshire. All that remains now is to write up the findings and submit the thesis.
Again, I cannot thank all the proprty owners enough for their help and support. I would also like to acknowledge the help of Edward Roberts Esq, the author of Hampshire Houses 1250-1700: Their Dating and Development. This outstanding book has been an essential part of my research and I thoroughly recommend it!
