Early English
Early English is an architectural style which focuses on the use of naturalistic and rustic elements. It is characterized by the use of stone and brickwork, exuberant decoration, and the frequent use of pointed arches over windows and doorways. Notably, the style is known for its heavy use of foliage, tracery, and floral designs. Important examples of Early English architecture include the nave at Westminster Abbey, the Chapter House at Southwell Minster, and the Shrine of Edward the Confessor at Westminster Abbey.
