5.5 Timber

[ubermenu config_id=”main” menu=”96″]

The vast majority of timber used in the abbey construction would have been oak. By the 12th century this would have come mainly from managed forests, many owned by the king. Gifts of royal timber were a frequent source of timber, and in the case of Hyde this is likely to have come from forests within a 30 mile radius of Winchester.
