Romans bring to England great Roman culture, which can be traced in many towns, cities, villages and countrysides. This can be roads, aqueducts, bathes etc. The Norman conquest of England was began in 1066 and have bring to English design a lot of impact from north of Europe. Many castles was constructed after this invasion. Furthermore many English abbeys where constructed after Norman invasion and now can be considered now as an example of traditional English design.
