who was responsible in bringing to england the norman romanesque architecture?
edward the confessor
the term may have originated with eighteenth-century antiquarians, but its usage in a sequence of styles has been attributed to thomas rickman in his 1817 work "an attempt to discriminate the styles of english architecture from the conquest to the reformation" which used the labels "norman, early english, decorated, and perpendicular". the more inclusive term "romanesque" was used of the romance languages in english by 1715, and was applied to architecture of the eleventh and twelfth centuries from 1819. although edward the confessor built westminster abbey in romanesque style (now all replaced by later rebuildings) just before the conquest, which is still believed to be the earliest major romanesque building in england, no significant remaining romanesque architecture in britain can clearly be shown to predate the conquest, although historians believe that many surviving "norman" elements in buildings, nearly all churches, may well in fact be anglo-saxon.

section::::neo-norman.









































neo-norman architecture is a type of romanesque revival architecture based on norman romanesque architecture. there is sometimes confusion, especially in north america, between this style and revivalist versions of vernacular or later architecture of normandy, such as the "norman farmhouse style" popular for larger houses.









































romanesque revival versions focus on the arch and capitals, and decorated doorways. there are two examples in manchester: the former stock exchange building and a synagogue in fallowfield.
