    	    A campaign would be defined by recognisable breaks and construction joints in the fabric: there may be a number of phases within a campaign.

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.

1150

Phase 1 - 1150s [1154] - east


East, round, becomes almost hexagonal at cornice; walls to both bays with shafts to capitals; some capitals re-carved in crude imitations of earlier forms..
 
Rationale for dating : The large plates flattened against the surface and the sharp-edged plates under the corners bespeak the 1150s.

Phase 2 - 1150s [1158] - north


North arm and chapel separate to crossing, joints not clear; the use of the same form for the rib vaults of the north and the crossing suggest that when the north was vaulted the crossing vault may have been completed at the same time, and with it the room over that.
