Byzantine and Romanesque architecture . at aburst of architecture took place as in the period we havebeen considering. The Norman style has left its markon the majority of our cathedrals and parish churches tothis day.

Every-where do we still see evidences of what William ofMalmesbury tells us was going on in his day.
