Cathedral complexes containing more than one church, as well as a separate baptistry, were quite common in the early Middle Ages. Although in some instances there are references to "summer" and "winter" churches,etc., I don't believe much is known about the way that such complexes worked. There is much good information on them in Alain Erlande-Brandenburg's The Cathedral, a book that would be much, much more useful if it had footnotes! Cheers, Jim Bugslag
