Gateway of the Bishop’s Palace, Peterborough, c. 1220.

Coombe Church, Oxon, c. 1350.

In the Perpendicular style the panelling, which was so profusely introduced, was sufficiently recessed to receive figures, and these varied considerably in form, but of the more legitimate niches the general character did not differ very materially from those of the preceding style. In plan the canopies were usually half an octagon or hexagon, with small pendants and pinnacles at the angles; and crockets, finials, and other enrichments were often introduced in great profusion: buttresses, surmounted with pinnacles, were also very frequently placed at the sides of niches in this style. [See illustrations under Buttress, Canopy, Image, Pinnacle, and Tabernacle.]
