as with the gothic architecture of other parts of europe, english gothic is defined by its pointed arches, vaulted roofs, buttresses, large windows, and spires. the gothic style was introduced from france, where the various elements had first been used together within a single building at the choir of the basilique saint-denis north of paris, built by the abbot suger and dedicated on 11 june 1144. the earliest large-scale applications of gothic architecture in england are at canterbury cathedral and westminster abbey. many features of gothic architecture had evolved naturally from romanesque architecture (often known in england as norman architecture). this evolution can be seen most particularly at the norman durham cathedral, which has the earliest pointed ribbed high vault known.
