Introduction to combed and stamped pargeting

Pargeting is decoration which is modelled into plaster, usually on the outside of buildings. It is a traditional skill and most frequently seen in Suffolk and north Essex, England. Combed pargeting became hugely popular in the 17th century to add interest to the otherwise boringly flat plaster on timber framed houses. Since the 19th century through to today stamped patterns are often used instead. Quite right too! We ornament the rest of our houses so why are the outside walls left boringly flat? I am a working pargeter and plaster conservator.
