None of the innovating characteristics of continental architecture, Norman or French, are apparent in the parish churches of these towns, one of which was nevertheless a great building project directed by King Henry I Beauclerc. This particularity seems to directly illustrate the problems of authority that the sovereign constantly met with in Normandy. |
