French Gothic influence on British architecture

The image on the left shows a Gothic cathedral in France, and it looks very similar to the cathedral on the right, which is located in England. They both have the Rose windows, which are known in the Gothic period. They have a lot of windows to let in the "light of the world." Also, they both have one section that is very tall, so they obviously have some connection.

As you can see in both of these cathedrals, there are many arches over doors and windows. Also, there were a lot of stained glass widows as shown in the cathedral on the right. The cathedral on the left is in England and the right is in France.

The inside of these cathedrals both have many arches, with the French cathedral on the left and the British cathedral on the right. They are trying to create a very open feel.
