Walling, herringbone style

First find a HB wall in disrepair

Set up the batter, height etc.

And start stripping it down

Forget everything you

thought you knew about

walling, even the foundations

Small stones, length along

the wall?

Start at the top of the slope?

Choose the right stone to start

The stone you wanted is over here!

And it fits just right

The first layer, biggest of all

Added muscle

And it’s in

2nd layer, counterintuitive

The copes have to ‘level’ our wall

Which means a bit of hammer work

But what a result!
