Description

The Coade Stone 'Charity Boy' commissioned from Eleanour Coade in 1785 and placed over the entrance to the Boys' Charity School in Lambeth Green (now Hercules Road) - seen here on the later Victorian school building. A Coade stone girl was also purchased for the nearby Female Asylum, but has not yet been found since it was hidden for safekeeping during World War II.
