Statuary
Much of the external statuary is by Joseph Else (1875–1955), Principal of the Nottingham School of Art (now part of Nottingham Trent University). Else was responsible for the famous lions guarding the entrance, for the frieze above the Ballroom windows (representing ancient local industries such as bellfounding and alabaster) and for the figures in the principal facade's pediment (depicting the arts and public service).
A miniature Council House is featured here (see image left) representing the art of architecture.
