....and more rarely the "Gothic" or Polish bond - http://tinyurl.com/kju8bl

In the example given by geopiet at:

http://www.abc-sciany.pl/index2.php?site=art&id=254

it is not clear which name refers to which diagram, because the diagrams do not have letters attached and the sequence of descriptions does not match the sequence of diagrams. If we assume that the letters run down the page and not across, then the diagram in the middle of the bottom row would be H. This bond is shown in Słownik terminologiczny sztuk pięknych (PWN) as wątek (= wiązanie) polski (p. 431). Both of these examples assume that the bricks used are exactly twice as long as they are wide. The Oxford Dictionary of Architecture and Landscape Architecture shows 22 different brick bonds, and gives much greater detail, because the bonds are shown in 3D and with the ends and corners of the walls. It doesn’t list ‘Polish bond’, but for ‘Gothic Bond’ it says “Term for Flemish bond” (p. 325), and for ‘Flemish bond’ it shows a pattern which is very similar goepiet’s H, except that it shows the need for an additional element (closers) at the ends (p. 115). Closers are needed when the length of the bricks is slightly more than double their width. This bond is also shown at:

where closers are visible along with the headers and stretchers.
