Abstract The abstract describing the content of the publication or report Abstract:	Core samples were obtained from 23 timbers of the medieval Guildhall complex at Stratford-upon-Avon (the main Guildhall range and its south range). Another 10 cores were obtained from the adjacent Pedagogue's House. Analysis of 25 of these samples (8 being unsuitable for analysis) produced two dated site chronologies and dated another sample individually. The first site chronology, SUABSQ01, comprises 12 samples, all from the Guildhall complex, of overall length 99 rings. These are dated as spanning AD 1305-1403. The second site chronology, SUABSQ02, comprises seven samples, all from the Pedagogue's House. Of overall length 126 rings, this spans AD 1377-1502. A further single sample, SUA-B19, was dated individually, its 80 rings spanning AD 1353-1432. Interpretation of the sapwood indicates that the majority of dated timbers of the Guildhall complex were cut in a single programme of felling, this estimated to have occurred AD 1410-35. Documentary evidence suggests the building was erected from AD 1417-18 and was completed by AD 1425. One timber, from an inserted ceiling, is later, this probably not being felled before AD 1447. Conventionally the Pedagogue's House is thought to date to AD 1427-28, when it is documented that a school house was under construction. Tree-ring analysis shows, however, that the dated timbers are likely to have been felled much later, in AD 1502.
