In a variant of Flemish bond, probably early/mid 19th century. It was common at the period to have the headers in a contrasting colour, in this case dark vitreous ones, but normally they form a regular pattern. Here only about half the headers are dark, and their placing is entirely random. See http://www.geograph.org.uk/photo/5847910 for location.
