The Architecture of Norman England

This important addition to the literature by Eric Fernie, a recognized authority on the subject, is the first overall study of the architecture of Norman England since Sir Alfred Clapham's English Romanesque Architecture after the Conquest (1934). Containing powerful new ideas which will affect the way in which we look at and analyse these buildings, it discusses and puts into context castles, halls, cathedrals, abbeys, collegiate churches, monastic buildings, parish churches, and
palace chapels, and provides a guide to the parts of the buildings, such as apses, passages, vaults, and galleries, as well as an account of the processes by which the buildings were planned and built.
