In the last quarter of the 14th century the Perpendicular Style was used for the first and last time in the architecture of great cathedrals. New naves were built in Canterbury and Winchester. In Winchester Cathedral the rebuilding of the nave around 1360 had begun with the west front. One of the last cathedral fronts of England, it was once again built with a flat end wall. On this façade the side aisles are separated from the nave by boldly protruding buttresses and pinnacles. The wall and window surfaces between are completely covered with paneling. The porch has Tudor arches, typical of the Perpendicular style.
The photo shows the west front.
