Abstract:		 Core samples were obtained from 37 different oak timbers within Cromford Bridge House, Cromford, Derbyshire. Analysis of 34 of these samples (three having too few rings for reliable dating) produced five dated site chronologies. Interpretation of the dates obtained for 29 of the 34 measured samples indicates that the earliest part of the present building is the two-bays of one of the north-south ranges gable-end on to the road. This was constructed of timber felled in 1524. A further large single-bay extension was added to the north side of this original two bay hall in 1655. A few years later, in 1662, a major development saw the addition of an east- west range, added to the west of the two earlier stages of building. This new work appears to have been a two-storey-with-attic domestic building at its east end (where it attached to the existing building), and a one-and-a-half storey, possibly agricultural building, at the west end. Within a less than a hundred years, almost certainly by 1735, the one-and-a-half storey portion of the east-west range was raised in height to make it a two- storey-with-attic building, matching the rest of this range. This work reused much of the timber felled in 1662, but incorporated and reused some salvaged timbers originally felled in 1586, and some new timbers specifically felled for the mid-eighteenth century work. Other, minor, alterations were made to some parts of the building during these years. The exact date of these works cannot be determined. It is likely that within a generation of the east-west range having been built, say by 1780, a superior Georgian range was attached to the east of, and parallel to, the primary 1524 build, as a north-south gable range.
