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 1 - 1070s [1078] - crossing (a)
Crossing piers to aisle impost, start of chapels; presume there had been an earlier church to the east; heavily destroyed in 1918; there is the remnant of a capital that may have been part of this church and which is dateable to the 1070s from similar thick meandering 'tube' in Croix-sur-Ourcq.

Phase 3 - 1110s [1111] - nave (a), W-w
West front start of nave foundations, date 1106 ex SS master in the capitals
Rationale for dating : SS Master A for 1111 in the arch Pineapples.

Phase 6 - 1120s [1123] - tower II
Tower II
Rationale for dating : Dated ex Nouvion tower and the work of SS Master and Winger; Pineapple design with form sometimes carved by other men; though the work is post-war, the models for these designs are sufficiently close to those from this period that some have the possibility of being recognized.
