Close up of the south wall of the house shown in Image All the bricks laid lengthways (stretchers) are pale, pinkish, while the bricks laid end-on (headers) are dark. Headers and stretchers alternate throughout, hence the zingy, chequered effect. This method of laying bricks is known as 'Flemish bond' - see the glossary pages at the back of any volume in Pevsner's series, 'The Buildings of England'.
