Abstract:		 Eighteen timbers, 14 oak and 4 elm, were sampled for ring-width dendrochronolgy from the roof and first-floor frame at the north range, and from various elements of the north-west range. Eight oak samples from the north range matched and produced a site chronology; three of the samples retained complete sapwood, one being from a tree felled in the spring of AD 1567. The other dated timbers appear to form a coherent group most likely felled at the same time. Construction of the north wing is likely therefore to have been in AD 1567 or within a year or two after this date. The north-west wing could not be dated by this analysis. Eighteen timbers, 14 oak and four elm, were sampled for ring-width dendrochronology from the roof and first-floor frame of the north range, and from various elements of the north-west range. Eight oak samples from the north range matched and produced a site chronology, which dated very strongly against local reference chronologies but also strongly with reference chronologies across mid- and southern England. Three of these samples retained complete sapwood, one being from a tree felled in the spring of AD 1567, the other two probably felled at the same time, although one had very narrow rings that made the exact year of felling impossible to determine, whilst on the other the sapwood section of the sample had detached during coring with the possible loss of a small number of rings. The other dated timbers appear to form a coherent group most likely felled at the same time. Construction of the north wing is likely therefore to have been in AD 1567 or within a year or two after this date. The north-west wing could not be dated by this analysis.
