English Gothic, like that of France, is divided intothree periods, called : Early English or Lancet (1175-1300); Decorated(1300-1375); and Perpendicular (1375— 1537)- These divisions are merely approximate, as atransitional period always intervened, but they aresufficiently accurate to identify differences and clas-sify successive styles.
