Synopsis

This book is an in-depth study of the architecture found throughout Great Britain developed after the Roman era through 1066, the year of the Norman Conquest. The author traces the influence of early Christian worship, the preservation of the art of the Romans, and the Byzantine style on the later Romanesque style from the 8th century through the Norman Conquest. The author takes the reader on a historical tour of structures built throughout this period, especially those still standing, such as Brixworth Church, and situates them within the larger context of the historical changes occurring in Britain throughout this period. The insights in this book will prove illuminating to those interested in early European architecture, history, and the intersection of art and culture.
