The simplest sgraffito pattern, of alternately toned squares, was sometimes used over an entire surface. At 62 Fore Street, Topsham, the squares were varied with the addition of small quartered circles in the corners. The design covers both back and jambs and continues over the narrowing corner cheeks at the hearth back
