The life-sized figures of Lady Godiva, Justice and Leofric sit high on the facade that includes many heraldic features in the centre of the building. Wilson also designed other figures located around the clock tower on the east side of the building. Four of these are angels and one is of Coventry's famous 'Peeping Tom'.
