The Anglosaksonsko-Romance style overtopping in architecture to the middle of XI century, differed simplicity of architectural and building methods: simple round arches, dvuskatnye the roofs borrowed habitual wood architecture. The Norman style which has replaced it has existed till the end of XII century. It differed abundant of equal powerful columns, the round decorated embrasures and the ceiling reports, narrow windows, not so powerful buttresses. One of the best samples of this style - the oldest in the Great Britain a cathedral in Or (Ely Cathedral), has been mortgaged in 673 year, but the modern aspect has acquired only to the middle of XII century. As outstanding Articulata constructions of Norman style are considered Hedingem in Essex and Konisbrou in Jorkshire. In the same style the part of constitutions of the Edinburgh lock in Scotland is executed also.

Having stood destiny tests (on September, 9th, 1940 the German bomb has fallen to a palace, three days later it has been again attacked), it appears at us in all greatness and beauty. More serotinal styles - from protobyzantian (the Westminster cathedral church in London) to a modernist style and constructivism have not variated the developed architectural shape of the majority of cities of the Great Britain though have given sometimes irresistible charm to their urban building.
