Abstract:		 Analysis was undertaken of samples from thirty-two oak timbers at Bretby Hall, Derbyshire. This resulted in the production of felling dates for timbers from four parts of the building. It is highly probable that the majority of timbers in the roof of the north range east wing were felled c. AD 1618--19. However, it is possible that some timbers here could have been felled as late as c. AD 1639. Timbers of the primary build of the north range were felled in AD 1719. Timbers of the south range roof were felled over the years AD 1800 to 1805, though there is reason to believe that they were not used until at least AD 1813. Timbers of the east range have felling dates in the mid-seventeenth century varying from c. AD 1640 to as late as c. AD 1669. Four site chronologies were produced from the samples obtained. The first has 226 rings and spans the period AD 1494--1719. The second site chronology has 121 rings, spanning the years AD 1685--1805. The third has 118 rings spanning AD 1496--1613, and the fourth 80 rings spanning the years AD 1525--1604.
