Pargeting (Shire Library)

By Tim Buxbaum

Pargeting is the decoration of plastered and rendered finishes on the outside of a building. It is an art and craft that dates back many centuries and varies considerably in technique. Today pargeting is mainly associated with East Anglia, but it once had a wider distribution; many good examples have been lost through neglect, redevelopment, changing taste and fire. There is now a revival of interest in pargeting, and craftsmen are again being commissioned to produce new work. Tim Buxbaum is a chartered architect whose practice believes in good new building design and the sensitive conservation of historic buildings.
