‘The Romanesque style, which began to crystallise in Western Europe soon after the year 1000[ce]* and which reached maturity in the first half of the 12^th century, was born during a period** of religious fervour. The crusading spirit was at its height; the pilgrimage routes were much frequented by those who could not actually go to the Holy Land; and Western monasticism was at its peak.’
