Not this:
The term Norman architecture is used to categorise styles of Romanesque architecture developed by the Normans in the various lands under their dominion or influence in the 11th and 12th centuries. In particular the term is traditionally used for English Romanesque architecture. The Normans introduced large numbers of castles and fortifications including Norman keeps, and at the same time monasteries, abbeys, churches and cathedrals, in a style characterised by the usual Romanesque rounded arches (particularly over windows and doorways) and especially massive proportions compared to other regional variations of the style.

- beardyw 5y agoThat's what I thought. I'm looking forward to Saxon doors.
- Hallucinaut 5y agoThanks. This answered what I needed to know whilst sticking within the safe confines of HN
- emmelaich 5y agoThat helped but also confused me more. Turns out that Norman doors are the opposite of Don Norman doors. Much in the way that Orwellian means totalitarian.
- prvc 5y agoThanks. Terrible choice of name for this phenomenon. Maybe we should/ shouldn't call such a thing, "a Norman Name".
