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 3 - 1070s [1075] - nave (a)
All the other bases to second last nave bay (or more) and caps 2-7 to first course above the impost.
|
Phase 7 - 1120s [1128] - nave (c)
West crossing piers and triforium openings begun. Coursing shows how built together, though the capitals and their imposts suggest that the crossing pier capitals were a little earlier than those under the nave clerestory. Nave clerestory walls and four caps possibly over two campaigns with clerestory wall probably up to drip mould under windows; looks like there may have been additional openings where the intermediate shafts were added in phase 13.

Rationale for dating : Carver Pecker II with birds just like Le Mans, Noyon and Chartres, and this indicates that this campaign was pretty close in time to the nearby capitals in the adjacent nave.

Phase 10 - 1160s [1162] - s chapel
SE2-e chapel with square eastern wall.
Rationale for dating : Remaining capital same as in previous campaign
|
Phase 11 - 1160s [1163] - east (c,v)
apse clerestory and high vaults.
Rationale for dating : [*MCS - GrippleSon - Victoire Team for 1166]
