Style
Georgian – The Georgian style is the name given in most English-speaking countries to the set of styles in vogue between 1720 and 1840. It is named after the first four British monarchs of the Maison of Hanover — George I of Great Britain, George II of Great Britain, George III of the United Kingdom, and George IV of the United Kingdom — who reigned in continuous succession from August 1714 to June 1830.

Cross – The cross is one of the oldest human symbols and is used by many religions, such as Christianity.
