A History of English Architecture: 410-2013

Making England: The Shadow of Rome, 410-1130 by Professor Simon Thurley. When the English nation rose out of the ruins of the Roman Province of Britannia, people remained obsessed with their Roman past. Seismic social and political change in 1066 barely upset the vision of patrons and architects and Rome remained England's cultural capital driving the imagination of its architects.
