Publisher's Synopsis
Norman Architecture in England is a comprehensive study of the architectural style that emerged in England in the 11th century after the Norman Conquest. Written by Ernest H. Short, the book explores the origins of Norman architecture, its distinctive features, and the ways in which it influenced the development of English architecture over time. The book is organized chronologically, tracing the evolution of Norman architecture from its earliest examples in the late 11th century to the end of the Norman period in the mid-12th century. Along the way, Short examines the major building types of the period, including churches, castles, and monastic buildings, and provides detailed analyses of some of the most important examples of Norman architecture in England. The book is illustrated with numerous photographs, drawings, and plans, making it an invaluable resource for anyone interested in the history of English architecture.THIS 58 PAGE ARTICLE WAS EXTRACTED FROM THE BOOK: History of Religious Architecture, by Ernest H.
