+The main elements of English Baroque differ heavily from other traditionally English forms of architectures. The main element of this style was the use of domes. The window sizes in the buildings are increased and classical elements are used. A style with some similar elements such as columns and porticoes is the [[Neoclassical]] style. The style has lots of curves and often features classical figures in rounded alcoves. <ref>Style Guide: Baroque - Victoria and Albert Museum. (2017). Vam.ac.uk.
