Pargeting is the decoration of plastered and rendered finishes on the outside of a building. It is associated mainly with East Anglia, but there is a revival of interest in the technique. This study describes how craftsmen are being commissioned to renew their acquaintance with pargeting.
Tim Buxbaum is a chartered architect whose practice believes in good new building design and the sensitive conservation of historic buildings. He has written for the Shire list 'Icehouses', 'Scottish Doocots' and the county guide 'Suffolk' (OP).
