English Gothic

English Gothic refers to a style of architecture and design that flourished in England from the late 12th to the 16th centuries. It is characterized by features like pointed arches, ribbed vaults, flying buttresses, and large stained glass windows, which allowed for taller, more light-filled structures. This style was commonly used in cathedrals, churches, and other important buildings, reflecting a sense of grandeur and spiritual aspiration. Over time, English Gothic evolved into regional variations, but its emphasis on verticality and decorative detail remains a defining aspect of medieval English architecture.
