==Birth of the fan vault== The fan vault is attributed to development in [[Gloucester]] between 1351 and 1377,<ref name="harvey"> {{Cite book | last = Harvey | first = John | title = The Perpendicular Style | publisher = Batsford | year = 1978 | location = London }}</ref> with the earliest known surviving example being the east cloister walk of [[Gloucester Cathedral]].<ref>[[David Verey]], ''[[Gloucestershire]]'', [[Yale University]] Press, New Haven, Connecticut, USA (1976)</ref> [[John Harvey (historian)|Harvey]] (1978) hypothesises that the east cloister at Gloucester was finished under Thomas de Cantebrugge from the [[hamlet (place)|hamlet]] of [[Cambridge, Gloucestershire]], who left in 1364 to work on the [[chapter house]] at [[Hereford Cathedral]] (also thought to have been fan vaulted on the basis of a drawing by [[William Stukeley]]).<ref> {{Cite book | last = Aylmer | first = Gerald | title = Hereford Cathedral : A History | year = 2000 | publisher = The Hambledon Press | url = https://books.google.com/books?id=NFXdQLOR_XIC | page = 62 | isbn = 9780826436283 }} </ref> The other three parts of the cloister at Gloucester were begun in 1381, possibly under Robert Lesyngham. Other examples of early fan vaults exist around Gloucester, implying the activity of several 14th century master masons in that region.{{Citation needed|date=January 2022}}
