Author(s): Robert Howard, R R Laxton, Cliff Litton

Tree-ring samples were obtained from fifty-one oak timbers from five phases of 26 Westgate Street, Gloucester. Analysis of these samples resulted in the production of a single site chronology of 224 years spanning the period AD 1399-1622. Analysis of the sapwood indicates felling dates: Phase 1-no later than AD 1587, Phase 2-no later than AD 1622, Phase 3-no later than AD 1587, Phase 4-no later than AD 1617, Phase 5-no later than AD 1617.
