UK - London - St Botolph's Church Hall statue

Statue of a young boy outside St Botolph's Church Hall. Originally an infants' school, St Botolph's Church Hall stands in the churchyard of the Church of St Botolph-without-Bishopsgate. The entrance to the hall is flanked by two Coade stone statues of a schoolboy and schoolgirl wearing 19th century costume. Coade stone or Lithodipyra "stone fired twice") was stoneware that was often described as an artificial stone in the late 18th and early 19th centuries. It was used for moulding Neoclassical statues, architectural decorations and garden ornaments that were both of the highest quality and remain virtually weatherproof today.
