CHAPTER IV.
OF THE NORMAN OR ANGLO-NORMAN STYLE.
Q. To what era may we assign the introduction of the Anglo-Norman style?
A. To the reign of Edward the Confessor, since that monarch is recorded by
the historians, Matthew Paris and William of Malmesbury, to have rebuilt
(A. D. 1065) the Abbey Church at Westminster in a new style of
architectural design, which furnished an example afterwards followed by
many in the construction of churches.[52-*]
Q. Is any portion of the structure erected by Edward the Confessor
remaining?
A.
