Brickwork Iford

Brickwork is an intricate craft that has been honed over centuries. It is not only seen as a form of practical construction, but as an art form in its own right. The technicality of the craft is as important as the aesthetic element, and the combination of both is what makes brickwork stand out. The village of Iford, located in East Sussex, England, proudly boasts such incredible brickwork in its historic and contemporary architecture.

Iford is particularly celebrated for its traditional English bond brickwork. The English bond is one of the oldest and most robust methods of brick laying, characterised by alternating rows of headers and stretchers. This meticulous laying technique exemplifies the craftsmanship and attention to detail that is quintessential in the art of brickwork. It’s clear that the bricklayers in Iford take great pride in their craft, as the perfection in their workmanship is testament to their skills.

In Iford, one can also witness plentiful examples of Flemish bond brickwork, where each row is made up of alternating headers and stretchers. This style, although technically less strong than the English bond, is considered more aesthetically pleasing and has been prominently employed in both historically significant buildings and newer constructions in the village. The brickwork in Iford, whilst preserving the rich history of the region, also demonstrates the evolution of the craft using both traditional techniques and modern approaches. In short, the brickwork in Iford is a clear testament to the refinement and advancement of this age-old skill.
