The Colour Washing and Pencilling of Historic English Brickwork
This paper examines the long-standing traditional bricklayers' craft practice of applying a colour wash over the façades of external brickwork, including on some internal elements of brickwork, then re-emphasizing and delineating the bonding by the application of thin distempered lines upon the ochred mortar, in contrast to the original, wider, joint sizes. This may have been an integral part of the finishing phase of the building process on a large percentage of significant historic brick properties, and in parts of England carried on well into the first half of the eighteenth century.
