All the sculptures are inside the main building, mainly in or around the entrance foyer. The Wilson bust is in the south-east corner of the main foyer.

See Father Jellicoe for the Gilbert Bayes finials, some of which are/were on display in the BL lower level.

A plaque near the 4 busts in their brick roundels describes them as "the founders".
