St Nicholas Church Barfreston in Kent, England, was probably founded in the 12th century.

The earliest reference to Stoke church in Buckinghamshire, England occurs in the mid-12th century, when it was granted to Notley Abbey (Bucks.) by Walter Giffard, the overlord of the manor, and his wife. He founded this abbey—one of the few houses of Arrouasian canons in England—some time before 1164, the year of his death. The church of St Peter was built in the 12th century, and both the chancel arch and the fine south doorway are Romanesque work of this period.

A 19th Century view of Goodrich Castle, Herefordshire, England. Built in the 12th century with a stone keep, it was expanded during the late 13th century to combine luxurious living quarters with extensive defences. Held first by Parliamentary and then Royalist forces in the English Civil War of the 1640s, it was finally besieged by Colonel John Birch in 1646 with the help of the huge 'Roaring Meg' mortar, resulting in the subsequent demolition of the castle. In the 18th century, the castle became the subject of paintings and poems, providing inspiration for Wordsworth's 'We are Seven'.

An architectural drawing of Norman Romanesque Capitals. A capital is the wide crown to a column or pilaster, designed to create a base offering structural support to an arch. Capitals were often embellished with highly decorative carvings. Capitals have several distinct sections. At the top is a broad, flat section called an abacus. This can be unadorned, curved, or moulded. Below the abacus is a more slender section called the necking, tapering down to the shaft in a form loosely resembling an uptured bell.

A 19th Century view of the River Dee from the city walls of Chester, Cheshire, England, on the River Dee. The walls were started by the Romans when they established the fortress of Deva Victrix between 70 and 80 AD. Originally a rampart of earth and turf surmounted by a wooden palisade, around 100 AD they were reconstructed using sandstone and completed over 100 years later. After the Norman conquest, the walls were extended to the west and the south to form a complete circuit of the medieval city. The circuit was probably complete by the middle of the 12th century.
