WHAT DOES PARGETTING MEAN IN ENGLISH?

pargetting

Pargeting

Pargeting is a decorative plastering applied to building walls. The term, if not the practice, is particularly associated with the English counties of Suffolk and Essex. In the neighbouring county of Norfolk the term pinking is used. The Ancient House in Ipswich shows a particularly fine example of pargeting, depicting scenes from the 'four continents' of the world. When the hall was built in 1670, Australia was yet to be known as a single continent by the Europeans. Pargeting derives from the word 'parget', a Middle English term that is probably derived from the Old French 'pargeter' / 'parjeter', to throw about, or 'porgeter', to roughcast a wall. However, the term is more usually applied only to the decoration in relief of the plastering between the studwork on the outside of half-timber houses, or sometimes covering the whole wall. The devices were stamped on the wet plaster. This seems generally to have been done by sticking a number of pins in a board in certain lines or curves, and then pressing on the wet plaster in various directions, so as to form geometrical figures.
