Two adjacent notices read: "The Queen's Beasts / Each of these ten beasts was once used as an heraldic / badge by Her Majesty, Queen Elizabeth II's forbears / and together they symbolise the various strands of the / royal ancestry. The plaster originals were made by Mr. / James Woodford O.B.E., R.A. and placed in front of / Westminster Abbey annexe for the coronation of Her / Majesty in 1953. These replicas in Portland stone are / by the same sculptor and were presented in 1956 by / an anonymous donor." and "The Black Bull of Clarence / This beast descended to the Queen through Edward IV. / The shield shows the Royal Arms as they were borne not / only by Edward IV and his brother Richard III, but by all / the Sovereigns of the Houses of Lancaster and Tudor."
