In this part of the world, of this vintage, it's mostly the sculpture you look at, since there are few paintings or frescoes that have survived. Romsey has some interesting instances of Norman sculpture, including dozens of funny faces, mostly animals, on the corbals higher up. And other things too. And the interpretive signage is excellent.
