The Academician and sculptor, James Woodford, was commissioned to carve ten heraldic beasts for the exterior of Westminster Abbey for Queen Elizabeth II's coronation in 1953. They were based on similar carvings at Hampton Court from the time of Henry VII. The Shell Petroleum Company commissioned Edward Bawden and Cecil Keeling to illustrate the ten six foot high stone statues, keeping within the limits of heraldry.
