→Rise of the Sarum Use: links
In 1066, the Normans invaded England. There were some abortive attempts at changing entirely to the related uses of northern France. However, monasteries particularly in the western parts of the island (especially Sherbourne Abbey and Glastonbury Abbey) proved intransigent. The Norman bishop of Sarum, [[w:Saint Osmund|Osmund]], arranged the services for his new [[cathedral]] according to the practices that he saw around him—both Norman and Saxon/Celtic.
The Sarum rite as known was probably arranged by [http://www.1911encyclopedia.org/Poore Richard Le Poore], who moved the See from [[w:Old Sarum |Old Sarum]] to [[w:Salisbury|New Sarum ]] (Salisbury) in the 13th c. From this period, the Sarum enjoyed the sterling reputation as being the best liturgy anywhere in the West, and thus had influence on the liturgy of other local churches in the Isles and the Continent (notable among them being Rouen, Braga in Portugal and Nidaros/Trondheim in Norway). Other related local uses continued as well, such as York, Bangor, Hereford, and Durham.
