Prior Says, in his History Of Gothic Art in England, The Gothic emergence came about in the Cistercian houses, which the bishops fostered, and in the churches which were built for Canons regular and secular. There appeared here a combination of rejecting Benedictine architecture as much as Of opposing Bene dictine supremacy. In the first enterprise they succeeded SO well that by the end of the twelfth century the Benedictine monasteries could not refuse the reformed architecture, but, nevertheless, in power and position the newer houses never rose quite to the level of the old. The Norse genius for architecture, the inheritance of a marriage, as some deem it, of Viking and Frank, developed on English Soil a distinct breed, that never afterwards needed fresh crossing. In 1200 the student was in the midst of an impulse that was growing to greater nobleness and freer expression, and making every building, small and great, fair and beautiful, radiant with colour, alive with the vitality of a sculpture such as the world has rarely seen.
