The fifteenth century represents the height of Perpendicular Gothic, characterised by strong vertical lines, large windows, and elaborate timber roofs. Clerestories introduced during this period transformed interiors with light, complementing surviving STAINED GLASS from the C14. CARVINGS became more architectural, with panelled tracery motifs appearing on screens, sedilia, and tombs. ROOD SCREEN were often enhanced or repainted, creating some of the most visually striking medieval furnishings.

Furnishings from this century are equally rich. MISERICORDS reached their artistic peak, featuring carvings that range from biblical scenes to secular humour. PULPIT and LECTERN became more common, anticipating the liturgical changes of the TUDOR Reformation. MONUMENT from this period often include alabaster effigies, linking them to later heraldic traditions such as HATCHMENT and ROYAL ARMS. The century represents the culmination of medieval artistic ambition before the dramatic shifts of the sixteenth century.
