Editorial reading
Editorial interpretation: The sequence of authorisation, altar consecration and later institutional status separates different milestones. Reading them distinctly gives a clearer account than treating every date as the beginning of the same building.

Check the responsible institution’s current visitor arrangements, conservation closures and accessibility before travelling. Confirm which parts are open and follow local guidance, including worship and photography rules where applicable. The recorded coordinate identifies the heritage place and does not confirm a public visitor entrance.
