Pantiles
A Pantile is a type of fired roof tile, normally made from clay. S-shaped in profile and is also a single lap, meaning that the end of the tile laps only the course immediately below. Flat tile normally lap two courses.
A Pantile roof is considerably lighter then a flat-tiled equivalent. Pantile rooves can be laid down to a lower pitch than a flat tile roof.
Geographical Area and History
Found in eastern costal parts of England and Scotland including Norfolk, East Yorkshire, County Durham, Perthshire, Angus, Lothian as well as Fife, where they were first imported form the Netherlands in the the early 17th century. Rarely used in western England or western Scotland, except in Bristol and also the Somerset town of Bridgewater.
Pantiles used for paving
Very unlike the roofing tiles. A Georgian colonnade in Tunbridge Wells named The Pantiles had pantile paving tiles installed in 1699. These are one-inch thick square tiles made from heavy Wealden clay. Named after the wooden pan which gave their shape before firing. Stone flag tiles replaced The Pantiles paving In 1792.
