Abstract:		 Analysis by dendrochronology of 15 core samples taken from a number of different timbers to this house has resulted in the production of two dated site chronologies. The first site chronology comprises 12 samples and has an overall length of 232 rings, these rings dated as spanning the years 1375-1606. Allowing for missing sapwood rings to the outer edges of the trees on these samples, it is estimated that the majority of timbers represented, principal rafters, tiebeams, collar, purlins, and wall posts, were all cut as part of a single programme of felling in 1610. The anomaly amongst this group is the spine beam to the ground floor ceiling. This has a heartwood/sapwood boundary 30 years earlier than the rest of the group and would suggest it was felled in, say, 1580, and is reused here. The second site chronology comprises two samples (both from the jambs of the door between the two main first floor rooms) and has an overall length of 72 rings. These rings are dated as spanning the years 1402-1473. Neither of these samples has certain sapwood or the heartwood/sapwood boundary on them and it is a little difficult to be certain exactly when the timbers were cut. It is unlikely, however, that they were felled before the early sixteenth century. One sample, from the bresummer to the fireplace of the main ground floor room, remains undated.
