Yes, William of Normandy, after his conquest of England in 1066, commissioned the construction of several churches and cathedrals. Notably, he ordered the building of Westminster Abbey, which was consecrated in 1065, just before the Norman Conquest, and the Tower of London, which included a chapel. His efforts aimed to establish Norman influence and consolidate power through religious architecture. These structures symbolized the transition of England to Norman rule.
William the Conqueror loved his wife Matilda. They were cousins and at first they were not allowed to get married. They then decided to build two churches in Normandy and therefore the Pope allowed them to get married.

He did not do that. The Normans moved some diocesan sees from small places to major cities, from example:Dorchester-on-Thames to LincolnNorth Elmham to Thetford, then NorwichSelsey to Chichester
The White Tower in the Tower of London.
William built his first motte and bailey castle in England at Pevensey. He utalized a Roman fort for added defence. It is possible the wooden tower on top of the motte was brought by ship ready to assemble.

William the Conqueror from Normandy invaded Britain and became king, Normans built many motte and bailey castles as well as the infamous Tower of London. The were originally from Normandy, the area just before Brittany, the panhandle on the northern coast, and im sure they built castles there.
John D. Rockefeller did not personally build any churches. However, he did donate significant amounts to charitable causes, including funds used for the construction of churches.
