I went on a Heritage Walk with Colin today and in one of his books he had the following diagrams which show the shape of church window arches and the period they relate to. The early English arches are 13th century, the decorated ones are 14th century and the perpendicular arches (where the baluster goes all the way to the top) are 15th century. I have always wanted a simple and easy way to identify the age of a church in most cases and this is it. Of course there are exceptions but this is the general rule. Hopefully you will find this useful:
