the pergola at Marsh Court (Fig. 263) of large stone flags, with filling of brick, 

 is simple and stately. In more than one old church in Sussex there is a paving of 

 red brick set in a pattern that suggests interwoven ribbons (Fig. 249). The 

 small dark squares were specially prepared by bricks of the usual size, having 

 the surface deeply channelled in the mould so as to form eight divisions. These bricks 

 were then " flare-burnt," the surface acquiring a purple colour and half vitrified quality, 

 while the deep scoring made them easy to cut into the small squares. Paving bricks 

 are also moulded to special patterns, as with one end diamond-pointed for the fitting 

 of four ends together, as in Fig. 254, the square inter-spaces being filled with nine-inch 

 tiles. Fig. 253 shows an example of a tracery of sections of half-round tile connected 

 with small pieces of roofing tile, with filling of another material, and Figs. 251 and 252 

 illustrate various ways of using pieces of roofing tile and brick on edge with paving 

 tiles of square and octagonal form.
