3. Clytie - in the sunken garden. There is a bronze in the gallery. She was a nymph in love with Helios, the sun god. She strained her neck every day to watch is movement across the sky.

4.I'm told that this is the door used by the apprentices working with Watts. It leads down to the sculpture room. It is decorated around "The utmost for the highest"
