Abstract:		 A total of 10 core samples were obtained from the south range roof trusses at Cannington Court, Cannington. Analysis by dendrochronology of eight of these samples (two samples having insufficient rings for reliable dating) has resulted in the production of a single dated site chronology comprising six of these eight. This site chronology is 104 rings long, these rings dated as spanning the years 1332-1435. Interpretation of the sapwood on the dated samples would indicate that, although the exact year of felling date cannot be determined, the timbers were probably all cut as part of a single programme of felling at some point between 1448 at the earliest and 1473 at the latest. The two remaining measured samples from this roof are undated. In addition to the roof samples, an attempt was made to take a core from a post in the face of the south wall (the side facing onto the courtyard) of the north range. The timber proved to be very decayed and a full core could not be obtained. It was seen that, in any case, the timber had too few rings for reliable analysis. The substantial roof of the west range was also assessed as to its potential for tree ring analysis, but the timbers here were all seen to be of elm. As yet elm is not amenable to dating by dendrochronology, and no samples were taken.
