Capitals for Courville, Saint-Julien The building sequence is based on my on-site analysis of the construction history,  
    	    using the techniques developed on the cathedral of Chartres called toichology, and described in a number of publications.
    	    The analysis of some of the smaller churches are more approximate than I would like, and need further analysis. 
    	    <p>I have used 'phase' rather than 'campaign' to to identify a contiguous zone with similar elements. 
    	    A campaign would be defined by recognisable breaks and construction joints in the fabric: there may be a number of phases within a campaign.
    	    One benefit is that separate programs by subcontractors, such as carvers, may be isolated, which is particularly useful in complex sections, such as portals.
    	    <p>Every phase has been assigned to a decade, so there may be more than one phase in a decade. 
    	    <p>While this is certainly imperfect, it will allow us to explore all the data, including costs, across time. 
    	    This is an on-going process, so as the data continues to be analyzed, the chronology and costing analysis will be further refined, and the synopsis updated. 
    	    <p>Clicking on any of the decade graphics will display all buildings that had work being done during that decade.

The building sequence is based on my on-site analysis of the construction history, using the techniques developed on the cathedral of Chartres called toichology, and described in a number of publications. The analysis of some of the smaller churches are more approximate than I would like, and need further analysis.

I have used 'phase' rather than 'campaign' to to identify a contiguous zone with similar elements. A campaign would be defined by recognisable breaks and construction joints in the fabric: there may be a number of phases within a campaign. One benefit is that separate programs by subcontractors, such as carvers, may be isolated, which is particularly useful in complex sections, such as portals.

Every phase has been assigned to a decade, so there may be more than one phase in a decade.

While this is certainly imperfect, it will allow us to explore all the data, including costs, across time. This is an on-going process, so as the data continues to be analyzed, the chronology and costing analysis will be further refined, and the synopsis updated.

Clicking on any of the decade graphics will display all buildings that had work being done during that decade.

Phase 2 - 1080s [1084] - nave (a)


Nave arcade with aisles but no doubleau nor vaults; the eastern bays of the aisles were omitted; there were many campaigns; the narthex was built with the nave, though the axis was offset;
 
Rationale for dating : 1080s from Triad and Palmleaf.

Phase 4 - 1170s - transepts


Transepts and north chapel added on to earlier apse over six campaigns; I would guess that the apse vaults were built about this time, though the capitals are too worn to indicate dates, including those to the nave aisles, excluding north wall of nave. A sets out apses to 5th or 6th course. B sets out transepts, arches into nave, apse windows, caps and start of vaults, and stairs with no windows. C builds two windows in stairs, completes apse vaults and begins transept windows. D is M1 on transept roses ca. 1195 in phase 8. E completes transept vaults.
