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.
