Caen Stone
Caen stone () is a light creamy-yellow Jurassic limestone quarried in north-western France near the city of Caen. The limestone is a fine grained oolitic limestone formed in shallow water lagoons in the Bathonian Age about 167 million years ago. The stone is homogeneous, and therefore suitable for carving. Use in building The stone was first used for building in the Gallo-Roman period with production from open cast quarries restarting in the 11th century. In England, Canterbury Cathedral, Westminster Abbey and the Tower of London were all partially built from imported Caen stone. Underground mining developed in the 19th century, but the stone trade declined in the 20th century, eventually ceasing in the 1960s. Excavation restarted in the 1980s with the stone being used for building the Caen Memorial. A 2004 decree by Caen city council authorised the annual quarrying of 9000 tonnes of stone.

When a church contains side aisles, as in a basilica-type building, the strict definition of the term "nave" is restricted to the central aisle. In a broader, more colloquial sense, the nave includes all areas available for the lay worshippers, including the side-aisles and transepts.Cram, Ralph Adams Nave The Catholic Encyclopedia. Vol. 10. New York: Robert Appleton Company, 1911. Accessed 13 July 2018 Either way, the nave is distinct from the area reserved for the choir and clergy.

If the aisles are high and of a width comparable to the central nave, the structure is sometimes said to have three nave ...
