Romanesque Architecture __ "The specific character of the Romanesque style can be understood only in the light of the development of early medieval architecture in the West, notably its Carolingian and Ottonian phases. Certain of the most characteristic features of Romanesque structures—the massive west facade crowned by a tower or by twin towers, the complex design of the eastern part housing the sanctuary, the rhythmic alternation of piers and columns in the nave—represent only the advanced stages in a lengthy and complex formal evolution marked by considerable trial and error."

Romanesque architecture in England __ "The Norman invaders of England introduced
their own style of building into their new island domain. Although elements of
Romanesque style had been used in England before the Conquest (as in Edward the
Confessor's Westminster Abbey), Norman Romanesque marked such a radical
departure from the Anglo-Saxon traditions that it must be considered on its
own." This style is also called "Norman." You will find a quick history and a
