English Oak Survives Centuries In Damp and Dry Shielded by Roofs
The oak's durability outpaces other timbers with specimens surviving centuries. London Professor Burnett cites an English oak from King John’s palace at Eitham intact over 500 years. The Edwards coronation chair and Gloucester stalls show remarkable preservation. Piles from the Savoy found under London ruins remained sound. A Kent river vessel from King Alfred’s era and an oak boat near Brigg also remained nearly perfectly preserved.
