Tree-ring dating commissioned by RCAHMW reported in Vernacular Architecture, Vol. 41:
13. CONWY, 11 Castle Street (formerly The Black Lion) (SH 7824 7759)
(a) Primary phase Felling date: Winter 1441/2
(b) Inserted chimney Felling date range: After 1517
(a) Principal rafters (3/4) 1441(14C), 1429(1), 1423(h/s); (b) Mantel beam 1506. Site Masters (a) 1385-1441 CONWY1 (t = 6.7 HANTS02; 6.6 FURNESS; 6.5 GEORGIN1; 6.3 NOSTELL1); (b) 1467-1506 bsc5 (t = 7.9 PLASMWR1; 7.1 BDGLRT22; 7.0 BDGLRT13; 6.7 GWYNEDD3).
An urban hallhouse sited parallel to the street not far from Aberconwy House (tree-ring dated to 1420; VA 32.86). The house is of conventional plan with a two-bayed hall set between inner and outer bays. The trusses are jointed crucks, which have a scattered distribution in north Wales. Conversion of the hall into a stone-walled storeyed house of hearth-passage type, serving as the vicarage, is dated by an inscription of 1589 on the front elevation with the initials of John Brickdall (vicar, d. 1607). Outbuildings include an outside kitchen. Five timbers were sampled from the house. Most of the timbers were fast grown, and as such did not have much promise for successful tree-ring dating. Nevertheless, three out of four samples from the primary construction phase dated. The fifth sample was from an inserted chimney stack in the hall. The mantelbeam had only 40 rings, yet remarkably it dated with the last measured of 1506. As it lacked any sapwood or H/S boundary, only a terminus post quem date of after 1517 can be given. This sample was only considered to be dated due to the exceptionally high matches with local north-west Welsh chronologies, the best being from Conwy.
