TIPS: 
* Medieval period introduced central plan churches. Art was associated with the Roman Empire and showed great Christian influence. Christianity moved to the British Isles during this time. 

* Romanesque cathedrals are short and HUGE, thick walls, small windows, use vaulted ceilings to hold up roof, dark inside. Their design allowed for the movement of pilgrims with the introduction of ambulatories. 

Below is a page from your book explaining the Doors of Bishop Bernward. Take a look at it!
