Perpendicular or fan vaults are one of the characteristics of English Gothic architecture. In the 14th century, the masons converted the rectangular pyramid shaped vaults into hexagonal pyramids. This vaults were later simplified (the size of the panels decreased and more ribs were added) and called the fan vaulting in the 15th century.
