Abstract:		 Previous analysis undertaken on samples from principal rafters, struts, and central posts of this roof structure resulted in it being dated to AD 1660. In AD 2005 a further ten samples were taken from a number of wall plates from this roof. The second phase of analysis produced the dated site sequence WORCSQ08 which contains all ten samples and spans the period AD 1552 - 1660. Two of these samples have complete sapwood and the last ring date of AD 1660, the felling date of the timbers represented. Interpretation of the heartwood/sapwood boundary on the other samples, where this exists, is also consistent with an AD 1660 felling. The earlier analysis had shown this roof was constructed from timbers felled in AD 1660 rather than belonging to the renovateds of the Chapter House of AD 1386 - 92 as was previously thought. This latter phase of analysis has shown the wall plates, rather than representing a separate phase, also belong to this AD 1660 felling.
