He never was able to work again. He allegedly gave the job to a monk but he felt that he would be outcasted from monastic society and gave it to a man known only as William the Englishman.
He completed the eastern portion of the church, and finished it in 1184.
If I knew what this was supposed to mean I'd rewrite it myself. The most logical interpretation is that W. Sens gave the job to a nameless monk, who gave it to W. Englishman, who completed the job in 1184. However, the text as written is ambiguous and without knowing the true events I don't want to touch it. And "outcasted" is not a very nice word.
