chequerwork

The church is built of flint and stone in a chequerwork pattern.

This has a flat top, and a parapet decorated with chequerwork.

The other shorter side has a chequerwork pattern.

The parapet is decorated with brick, flint and limestone chequerwork.

The gable is decorated with chequerwork and on its apex is a stone cross.

But Fenella still stood, drinking in the wild, glorious kaleidoscope of colours, seeing the marvellous chequerwork of form and shape.

There is chequerwork decoration on the parapets of the tower and south chapel, above the porches, and over the east and west windows.

There are diagonal buttresses, a castellated parapet with flint chequerwork and an octagonal stair turret.

Oxhey Chapel is constructed in knapped flint and red brick, arranged in alternating squares forming a chequerwork pattern.

Under the east window is red and buff chequerwork carved with roses, the IHC christogram, leaves and swords.

The tower is in four stages with chequerwork in its third stage, a recessed octagonal spire and an octagonal north west stair turret.

The tower is built of stone-and-flint chequerwork, and the timber roof of the nave is said to have been the gift of Cardinal John Morton.

The bottom band contains round-headed arches, the middle band has a series of chevrons, and the top band has various crosses, chequerwork patterns and other decorations.

The house is built of Chilmark stone, the pale limestone from which Salisbury Cathedral was also built, and flint chequerwork: its treatment at Lake House has been described as "an outstanding example of this technique".

Sometimes large areas are covered with chequerwork or diapering, where blocks of stone (often light coloured limestone such as Chilmark Stone or chalk, or greensand) are alternated with panels of dressed flint in a chequerboard pattern.
