Timeline and building units for Fay-Saint-Quentin, Le, Saint-Laurent 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 Fay-Saint-Quentin, Le, Saint-Laurent 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.

1080

Phase 1 - 1080 [1088] - east - 46 Units


Crossing and apse for groin vaults
1120

Phase 2 - 1120 [1127] - nave - 30 Units


Two bay nave with timber roof taking many campaigns from changes in stones; the blocked windows in south wall of nave show that the south was later and then the west bay much later as the present south door probably came from the original west front, which dates the nave
1130

Phase 3 - 1130 - crossing (v) - 15 Units


Ribs built over crossing without capitals, and same ribs and bosses used in crossing and apse.
1210

Phase 4 - 1210 - south - 24 Units


South arm with large windows set above a much earlier wall with a different stone below sill
1230

Phase 5 - 1230 - east (v) - 10 Units


East used to have a triplet window with lower sill, corner pilasters suggest groin vault that was removed for rib vault.

Phase 6 - Later
