Latest News:Norfolk Pamments has been "Highly Commended" by the Norfolk branch of the Campaign for the Protection of Rural England in recognition of its contribution to the fabric of the county's buildings. Norfolk Pamments are as good as old. They are traditional ceramic floor tiles hand made from regional clays. This is as it should be as pamments (or pammets) is a regional word, though becoming increasingly known outside East Anglia. Widely used for barn, house and cottage renovations and in conservatories and patios they are also to be found in churches, pubs and sites of historic interest. They have been specified by many of the bodies involved in protecting England's heritage, including County Councils, English Heritage and the National Trust. The registry office in Thetford and Magdalene College in Cambridge are two of many examples. There is also a growing trade in "exports" to other parts of England. The different clays used include the Galt clay used in the manufacture of the "Cambridge White" brick. Other regional clays help to create the full range of traditional colours from terracotta red, to pink to buff/white. Most pamments are a mixture of colours and being hand made each has an individual character. All traditional sizes are made including floor bricks and 12"x12"s. |
