Question

A main difference between English Gothic and French GOthic

Answer 1

English and French churches in Gothic style were constructed of stone masonry with pointed arches, ribbed vaults and a buttressing system to counteract the outward thrust of the stone vaults and the weight of the timber roofs. English Gothic cathedrals tend to be long and moderately high. Salisbury is 82 feet from the floor to the apex of the high vault. Cathedrals in such French towns as Chartres, Reims and Amiens are exceedingly tall, from 100 to 120 feet to the apex of the vault.
