Abstract
Tree-ring analysis of a sample from a cruck-framed building in the village of Great Haywood, near Shugborough in Staffordshire, has produced a felling date of 1424 for one of the crucks. The central cruck truss, all that survived of the original two-bay structure, was smoke blackened on both sides, but produced no firm evidence of communication between the two bays. It is suggested that the cruck truss might have served as the party wall between two separate properties, both single-storey, single-bay dwellings heated by open hearths. Comparisons are made with structures at Much Wenlock and Lichfield.
