The three Coade stone reliefs were originally sited on the house of the eminent physician Dr John Coakley Lettsom (1744–1815), formerly in Camberwell Grove. Three relief panels of reclining female figures in classical dress, set into the upper part of the frontage. At the very top, centrally placed beneath half-oval cresting, an oval relief panel shows Flora, looking down at the viewer. She wears a wreath in her hair and drapes a garland between her hands. In the frieze beneath, either side of a patera, are two oblong relief panels. The figure on the left, Liberality, holds up before her a sprig of laurel, while her counterpart on the right, Plenty, carries a bowl of fruit in her left hand and holds more fruit in her extended right hand.
