Default How old are these bricks?

I've just removed the plaster from a bricked up window and was
wondering when it might have been sealed. Can I tell from the size of
the bricks? they are 67 high by 225lon (don't know how wide)

What area of the country and approx. age of building?
Nick.


We're on the Bucks/Oxon borders - the rest of the building is stone -
a bit like a cotswold stone in colour but very rough construction. Age
is anything from 1700 to 1800 we are guessing.

Very sorry not to post a picture of a brick. Assumed that size matters
more. It was only an idle question though; wouldn't want anyone to get
too distressed.
