This statue stands in front of Ham House. It's made of Coade stone, a synthetic stone manufactured and sold by Mrs Coade, back in the 18th century. The recipe was lost for 200 years, but rediscovered recently after chemical analysis.

I've drawn this several times over the years. It's the gateway to Richmond Palace, dating from Henry the 7th's time. Elizabeth the 1st died here. During and after the civil war much of it was pulled down, so there's not much left now.
