Late English Gothic Style of Vaulting
Gloucester Cathedral and its English Gothic Style Vaults
The construction of Gloucester Cathedral gradually took place between 1089 and 1449. In 1222, a fire burnt down the timber roof and several buildings, so the south and the north transepts as well as the choir were rebuilt in perpendicular style in the 14th century. Additionally, the cloisters in the Gloucester Cathedral are the oldest surviving fan vaults (built between 1351- 1377).
