Dendrochronological dating suggests the earliest possible usage date for the wood is 1543, though the report indicates a most likely usage date of circa 1549.

Catherine Willoughby's daughter by her second husband: Susan Bertie (born 1554) was the daughter of Catherine Brandon, Duchess of Suffolk, née Willoughby and her second husband Richard Bertie. At sixteen years of age, she married Reginald Grey of Wrest, who was later restored as the fifth Earl of Kent. Widowed at age nineteen, Susan, now Dowager Countess of Kent, remarried to Sir John Wingfield in 1581 at age twenty-seven.
