Tadlow Granary
Tadlow Granary was moved here from Tadlow and reconstructed in the 1970’s by the Cambridge Preservation Society, within the central area of Wandlebury Ring ancient fort.
Tree ring dating of the wood used in the granary frame was analysed by Nottingham University and the original date of construction was found to be 1415.
The wood used in the granary was split rather than sawn, an early traditional method.
