Abstract:		 Lightshaw Hall is an L-shaped farmhouse of timber and brick construction. Dendrochronological analysis was undertaken on 11 timbers associated with the west or solar wing and a single timber, possibly a sill beam, located in a gully at the north-east corner of the house below the surface of the cobbled yard. Seven timbers from the west wing crossmatched and dated to produce a tree-ring chronology spanning the period AD 1414-1552. The presence of bark edge on one of these timbers produced a felling date of spring AD 1553, suggesting that the solar wing was probably erected in the mid-sixteenth century shortly after felling occurred. The ring sequences from a tiebeam from the solar wing and the possible sill beam date to AD 1150-1209 and AD 1106-1270 respectively. The lack of sapwood on either timber precludes the provision of either precise felling dates or felling date ranges. However supporting evidence is provided for the presence of an earlier building on the site and re-use of timber within the building is also clearly identified. No analysis was undertaken on the nineteenth-century north range.
