The figures and bas reliefs on the outside of the courthouse of Middlesex Guildhall (opposite the Houses of Parliament, London) and now known as the Supreme Court depict three distinct scenes:


The Central scene (the frieze over the main arch / entry to the Guildhall) depicts Henry III granting a charter to the Abbey of Westminster.


The Left scene depicts King John granting a charter to the Barons at Runnymede.


The Right scene depicts Lady Jane Grey accepting the crown.


Between these scenes are the images of Justice and Prudence and the remaining statues on the Guildhall depict Heraldic Architecture.

Inside the Supreme Court group portraits of Kings and Queens of England occupy the Oak bench ends in the council chamber and there are many more works inside which I have not yet seen.
