Some of the larger Cathedrals have a retrochoir to the east of the high altar and separated from the sanctuary by a screen or reredos. |

This was the development of fan vaulting, first used in about 1370 in the cloisters at Gloucester, then in the retrochoir at Peterborough in the early 15th century. |

Their colours became his, so that now when a group of 2m high vessels cluster on those retrochoir tiles it seems as if they are rising organically from the floor. |
