'No monumental tombs (didn't exist until c12)'
Bas-reliefs, maybe? Very early though. And in any case high profile

'no rich canopied stalls - the earliest stalls we have (Salisbury, mid
c13) were very simple - no decorative canopies, just well-made wooden
chairs in a row'
On reflection they may have had canopies - but nothing like as elaborate
as c19 stalls, which are usually fanciful versions of late medieval
types. And in any case I don't think we know if they had canopies in the
c11 0r not...
