A style of English architecture that developed in the thirteenth century and would evolve into the later Perpendicular style. Architecture of this period is characterized by its window openwork that features parallel mullions which cross and intersect to create a stone matrix of tracery that fills the top part of the window. Tracery style changed from being geometrical to a flowing curvilinear style at the start of the period. (Ambrose, 2008)
