I was hoping to post a picture but it seems I can't at AnswerBank, so here's a description of a house wall in Cambridge. Header; 2 Stretchers; Header; 2 Stretchers; and so on. The next course is the same, with each header in the centre of a stretcher in the adjacent course (ie not at a joint). Sorry!

Monk bond seems closest, but it's not right.

I know nothing about brickwork but I can tell you how to let us see a picture:

Upload your image file to here http://upl.co

Copy the first ('Direct') link.

Come back to this thread and past that link into a reply, ensuring that you don't type anything immediately before or after it - i.e. leave a space at each end or, possibly better still, giving it a line all to itself.

Easy peasy!

(However, based upon your description alone, I'm struggling to see why 'monk's bond' doesn't describe it: http://theheritagedirectory.co.uk/uploads/articles/Brick%20Bonds%20v2.pdf )
It's a variation of standard "Monk's bond", where the header is centred over a stretcher underneath. Regular Monk's bond has the header centred over a "perp" underneath.

I think imanoz is right with "offset".
Not one you see very often.

Sorry About the delay in coming back. Thanks an-i-mal for how to post a picture.

iminoz and The Builder - I'm impressed (as I couldn't find it anywhere after half an hour of searches) - it's Monk Offset.

Thanks all.
