Abstract
Tree-ring analysis was undertaken on samples taken from the roof and a first-floor frame of 19–21 Ladygate, Beverley, resulting in the construction of two site sequences. Site sequence BEVASQ01 contains 20 samples, from both the roof and the floor frame of 19–21 Ladygate, and spans the period AD 1194–1330. Interpretation of surviving sapwood suggests that the floor frame and roof are contemporary, dating to, or soon after, felling of the timbers utilised in AD 1330. The second site sequence, BEVASQ02, produced from samples from 19 Ladygate remains undated. Radiocarbon wiggle matching undertaken part way through the tree-ring dating programme, when access to 21 Ladygate was not expected, estimated the final ring of BEVASQ01 formed in cal AD 1310–1335 (95% probability) and was thus subsequently found to include the dendrochronological date of AD 1330.
