The Church of St Mary Magdalene is a church in Essendine, Rutland. It is a Grade II* listed building. [3]
The small church is built within the remains of the castle, which appears to have been an early Norman bailey, later developing into a strongly fortified manor. [4] [5] [6] The moat of the outer bailey and sometimes the church and churchyard are flooded by the West Glen River.
The church is made up of a chancel and a nave dating to the 12th and 13th centuries. [3] The church has no tower but does have a double bell-cote.
The church has a notable Norman tympanum over its south door. [4] [7] The tympanum has a carving of Christ in Majesty with angels. [8] The door of the church probably dates back to the 12th century [3] but some suggest it is Anglo-Saxon. [9]
Belvoir Castle is a faux historic castle and stately home in Leicestershire, England, situated 6 mi (10 km) west of the town of Grantham and 10 mi (16 km) northeast of Melton Mowbray. A castle was first built on the site immediately after the Norman Conquest of 1066 and has since been rebuilt at least three times. The final building is a grade I listed mock castle, dating from the early 19th century. It is the seat of David Manners, 11th Duke of Rutland, whose direct male ancestor inherited it in 1508. The traditional burial place of the Manners family was in the parish church of St Mary the Virgin, Bottesford, situated 3 mi (5 km) to the north of the Castle, but since 1825 they have been buried in the ducal mausoleum built next to the Castle in that year, to which their ancient monuments were moved. It remains the private property of the Duke of Rutland but is open to the general public.

In particular the term is traditionally used for English Romanesque architecture. The Normans introduced large numbers of castles and fortifications including Norman keeps, and at the same time monasteries, abbeys, churches and cathedrals, in a style characterised by the usual Romanesque rounded arches and especially massive proportions compared to other regional variations of the style.
