 | | Some British cathedrals are referred to as ‘minsters’, such as Southwell and York, the term originating in the name given to the bishop and cathedral clergy, who were often referred to as a monasterium. |
 | | Most cathedrals were built during the Middle Ages and reflect the two main styles of medieval architecture (see English architecture: medieval): Romanesque architecture, or Norman architecture, and Gothic architecture. |
