Capitals for Étiolles, Saint-Martin The building sequence is based on my on-site analysis of the construction history,

    	    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.

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.

1160

Phase 1 - 1160s [1168] - crossing


Crossing with arched openings for transepts, and rib vaults to support the tower; the walls of the eastern bay appear to be older remained there during construction.
 
Rationale for dating : Notice the outline of a small leaf applied to the core form, suggesting early in the Foliate transformation.

Phase 2 - 1160s [1169] - east


East bay altered and vaulted after the crossing, because the E1e arch is different to those that surround the crossing and sits on the crossing capitals.; crossing transverse arches are pointed while the entry into the eastern bay is peaked, involving a completely different centering technique.
