	tracery - Encyclopedia.com
		The complexity of this plate tracery increased, reaching a climax in the magnificent windows of Chartres Cathedral.
		Elaborate bar tracery soon became one of the most important elements of Gothic architecture and one of its finest achievements, as in the rose windows of the French Rayonnant style.
		By the late 14th century, the Perpendicular style replaced curvilinear tracery with straight mullions extending to the top of the main arch, connected at intervals by horizontal bars.

	Cullompton Town - Official Website - Church History
		The tracery in the bays closely follows the pattern of the windows in the aisles, and the fan tracery of the coving with its ornamental bosses supports the beautifully carved original cornice.
		With it's heavy fan vaulting the aisle is reminiscent of the Dorset Aisle at Ottery St Mary or John Greenway's chapel at St Peter's, Tiverton.
		A curious feature of Lane's Aisle is that the fan vaulting does not fit the windows and external buttresses, making it possible that a mistake in the original plan was made.

	Perpendicular Gothic architecture in England
		The style we know as Perpendicular Gothic is the final phase of Gothic architecture in England, after the Early English and Decorated periods, and it lasted by far the longest of the three periods, stretching from the late 14th until the early 16th century.
		As its name suggests, the chief characteristic of Perpendicular architecture is the emphasis on strong vertical lines, seen most markedly in window tracery and wall panelling.
		Roof vaulting became elaborate and ornate, with a multitude of vaulting ribs spreading outwards in a fan shape, ornamented with pendants and cross-ribs that served a purely decorative function.

	«SOME OLD DEVON CHURCHES» BY J. STABB; 13-24
		The rood screen [plate 13] dates from about 1450, it is well carved, and on the fan tracery may be seen the Bourchier badge.
		Affixed to the north and south walls of the chancel are the sides and ends of two or more tombs of grey marble, they are richly ornamented with traceried panels, with shields in the centre, but the brasses are gone.
		Behind the altar is a large slab of Purbeck marble, with three large panels of wheel tracery, surrounded by a border of small quatrefoils, each wheel has a hole in the centre as if for a spindle, but as the three wheels are all carved in one block of stone this must have been impossible.
