Abstract The abstract describing the content of the publication or report Abstract:	Twenty-seven samples from the 'rigging loft' building, plus twelve samples from the undercroft of the separate, though adjacent, chapel of the Trinity House complex in Newcastle upon Tyne, were analysed by tree-ring dating. This analysis produced three site chronologies, and the dating of a further single sample.The first site chronology, NWCASQ01, consists of ten samples and has 128 rings spanning the period AD 1397 to AD 1524. All samples are from the roof of the rigging loft and indicate that the present roof is a replacement of the original medieval one, being made of timber felled in AD 1524. The second site chronology is made up of five samples, four from the chapel undercroft and one from the ground-floor ceiling of the rigging loft. It has 234 rings spanning the years AD 950 to AD 1183. One timber from the chapel undercroft was certainly felled in AD 1183 and it is possible that the other four were felled at the same time. However, it is equally possible that some of the timbers have different felling dates, though one is unlikely to have been felled later that AD 1209. These samples are possibly reused in their present location. However if they are in their original position they would represent the remains of a very early pre-chapel building on the site. A third site chronology, NWCASQ03, consists of 3 samples from the rigging loft roof. It has 82 rings but it cannot be dated. A single sample, NWC-ASQ18, from the ground-floor ceiling of the rigging loft was also dated. This has 69 rings spanning AD 1381 to AD 1436. The timber represented was felled in AD 1436.
