Timeline and building units for Barzy-sur-Marne, Saint-Eloi A 'building unit' is an arbitrary unit of work based on bulk billing techniques used by quantity surveyors. The unit is small enough to provide realistic figures in the small churches without becoming too huge in the large. Six units would pay for one small vaulted bay in an aisle about 3 metres square, or a small first-floor gallery. Such a bay would consist of an external wall with a small window, half of two columns about 3 meters tall, the floor and footings under them and the vault and roof overhead.

Phases for Barzy-sur-Marne, Saint-Eloi 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.

Phase 2 - 1170 - apse - 25 Units


Apse begin lower walls, in plan apse expands, but all bases have been replaced. At least five campaigns. A Walls to three arms and crossing to half height. Intended more complex vaulting, possibly in two bays. B (a) ready for nave arcade. C apse (a) and windows to their capitals. This is Master M1 = Olive at Chartres. D eastern vaults. W5 (c) raised last, and the western wall around 1260. Tower by Priez group?, from proportions.

1180

Phase 3 - 1180 - apse sides - 20 Units


Apse with openings for transepts in at least two campaigns as there are square imposts to north arm and to south aisle entry while the rest are octagonal and around 12cm higher
1190

Phase 4 - 1190 - crossing (c) - 50 Units


Remaining crossing capitals with octagonal imposts, apse, and start of vaults with splayed doubleau arch.
1190

Phase 5 - 1190 - crossing (c) - 20 Units


The square impost mason returns for the western crossing piers and profiled doubleau.
1200

Phase 6 - 1200 [1205] - nave walls - 20 Units


Footings for nave walls and while the west wall is parallel to crossing piers within 6 cm, the nave piers not equal, which suggests that the earlier building may have been in the way and the masons worked around it as best they could.
