Abstract:		 Analysis by dendrochronology of timbers from Wytheford House has produced a single dated site chronology comprising 13 samples. This site chronology has a length of 211 rings, spanning the years 1516-1726. Interpretation of sapwood indicates that there are two phases of felling represented by the sampled timbers. The earliest phase is represented by four reused timbers originally cut as part of a single episode of felling some time between 1646-71. It is likely that they have been reused and placed in their present positions, but it is just possible that they represent an existing, earlier, building that has been incorporated into the present house. These earlier timbers may well be remnants of a Mr. Francis Hill's house which is believed to have stood on or near the spot of the present house, and which is first referred to in a rent roll of 1664. These four timbers are all from the roof of the southwest wing which is believed, on the basis of documentary evidence, to have been built in 1737. The construction of the main body of the present house appears to be represented by seven timbers from the roof of the main range and two timbers in its cellar. These timbers again appear to have been cut as part of a single phase of felling, this taking place in 1726. As such it is likely that the house was built by a Mr Thomas Dorsett who is known to have taken out a lease on the site in 1725.
