| Summary | "Architectural Antiquities of Normandy" by John Sell Cotman and Dawson Turner is a historical account written in the early 19th century. The book serves as a detailed exploration of Norman architecture, showcasing various significant edifices from this region and period, accompanied by descriptive and historical notices. The aim is to present a comprehensive visual and textual inventory of architectural features that link Normandy's rich heritage with its influence on England and elsewhere. At the start of the text, the authors express their intent to investigate the architectural styles found in Normandy, inspired by their observations of similar structures in England. The preface outlines the impact of the French revolution on architectural remnants, lamenting the loss yet celebrating the extent of what remains. The opening sections introduce Cotman's travels through Normandy, emphasizing his artistic dedication to documenting these structures while posing questions about the historical links between Norman and Saxon architecture. A variety of notable buildings are referenced, setting the tone for the detailed examination of architectural styles and historical contexts that will unfold in the following chapters.
