Abstract:		 Dendrochronological analysis was undertaken on samples from 22 timbers from the roofs over both the central and southern bays of this building, as well as an attic floor beam in the central bay and timbers accessible at second floor/attic level in the southern bay. This analysis produced a single site chronology comprising 20 samples from both bays. This site chronology is 203 rings long, these rings dated as spanning the years AD 1265–1467. Interpretation of the sapwood on the dated samples would indicate that the timbers to the southern bay are derived from trees felled in AD 1467. The timbers used in the central bay were felled at some point during the AD 1450s–60s, possibly slightly earlier than those in the southern bay. Thus, from a dendrochronological perspective, timbers from both bays appear essentially coeval, in spite of there being some constructional differences between the roof structures.
