Perpendicular

Perpendicular denotes the latest stage of English Gothic church architecture, prevalent from the late 14th to mid 16th centuries and characterized by broad arches, elaborate fan vaulting, and large windows with vertical tracery. I studied Perpendicular architecture for a year. Yes...I'm a fan!

View from the Crossing arch
"A wide-angle view from the crossing, with the painted tower crossing behind, and the painted rounded arches opening onto the early English sanctuary of St Alban's Cathedral, the highlight of which is the fine painted wooden vault and the beautiful Wallingford reredos, c.1480." ~ by Lawrence OP, via Flickr (Hertfordshire)

Perpendicular ~ The style we know as Perpendicular Gothic is the final phase of Gothic architecture in England, after the Early English and Decorated periods, and it lasted by far the longest of the three periods, stretching from the late 14th until the early 16th century. The picture shows fan vaulting in the choir of Sherborne Abbey.
