Gallery?
Considering the vast amount of beautiful Norman pieces in Britain and Italy still surviving, should this article not have a gallery? Or a link to a Commons page? Or at least lists of links to the relevant articles where the images can be found? Srnec 21:08, 9 April 2007 (UTC)
 * Added Commonscat link (not much there at the moment!) Man vyi 06:40, 10 April 2007 (UTC)


 * The article now has a gallery which is a mish-mash of photos, some of poor quality, some (like the east end of Caen) not appropriate and now deleted.
 * Putting together a good galery of images takes time, care, and careful choosing. Work.
 * See, for examples, the galleries at Romanesque architecture. Amandajm (talk) 16:25, 3 January 2023 (UTC)

Norman truss
I have removed the photo of the so-called Norman roof truss from the Gallery. The truss in question is in a house in Louisiana dating from 1740 and therefore well outside the historic period (and geographic area!) under disussion. The term "Norman Truss" refers to a construction method introduced to America from Normandy, not by the Normans. As it was also common in other parts of NW France it is something of a misnomer. See.
