As always, fascinating. Thank you, David.

Apart from the construction of castles and keeps to dominate the country, the establishment of the Norman style and form of worship extended into the 12th century; the cathedrals and smaller churches being a symbol of that form of worship truly filling the citizen with awe. Apart from the magnificent Norman features of Durham cathedral, for example, perhaps lesser known, but well worth a visit are the remaining 12th century Norman incised columns of St. Mary's Church, Kirkby Lonsdale. I've often wondered why such a remote site, in the 12th century, would warrant such impressive features in a relatively small church.
