Abstract The abstract describing the content of the publication or report Abstract:	Ring-width dendrochronology has been undertaken previously on three adjacent properties, with the front range of the high-status building at 8 Market Street yielding a likely felling date range of AD 1424–56. The oak samples from 7 Market Street showed abrupt growth changes and could not be dated, and a mix of oak and elm samples from 9 Market Street also remain undated. There was some question as to whether all three buildings may once have been a single entity, and so radiocarbon dating was undertaken on samples from Nos. 7 and 9 to determine whether they were contemporaneous with those from No. 8. This demonstrated that two purlins from No. 7 were felled in cal AD 1386–1408 (95% probability), making them rather earlier than the fabric dated by dendrochronology in No. 8. A further six timbers from these buildings, however, were all probably felled in the early eighteenth-century.
