Tudor architecture refers to the particular type of architecture, in a time period between 1485 to 1558. It occurs with the reign of the Tudor monarchs and becomes the final development of Medieval architecture in England and Wales. As many other styles, Tudor architecture had a number of distinctive features that separated it from Medieval period and later designs. An excessive usage of half-timber work and masonry, wide chimneys, inglenook fireplaces, four-centred arches, jettied top floors, heavy doors, large windows, landscaping and little gardens around the house, etc.
