as per righthooker but you could also do with a bigger seating area for the lintel. Youve got about 100-110 mm at a gues there and should really be 150mm at LEAST ...especially with those bricks as like i said before they are crumbly bastards. Make sure when you install the lintel you pack in plenty of mortar above it to hold the brickwork up above..
