English Bond

The bricks in the facing are laid in alternate courses of stretchers and headers. The header course is commenced along with a quoin header followed through a queen closer (that is a half brick cut longitudinally) and continued with successive headers. Stretchers having a minimum lap of one quarter their length over the header form the stretcher courses. Figure 9 displays details of the corner of a one brick wall and a one-and-a half brick wall and also a stopped end.
