| Description: The seated figures of Lady Churchill and Sir Winston Churchill reside on a bronze garden-type bench. She, Lady Churchill, sits to his proper right facing him. He, on her proper left, looks forward with "whatever it is she is saying to him." These are bulky "larger than life" sculptures. The courtyard contains two flagpoles, two park benches with ornate bronze arm rests. A non-working recording box sits behind the sculpture. Its intent is to emit to the viewer the sound of Sir Winston's voice, giving a speech. The courtyard is surrounded by elevated flower boxes with pine trees behind. A British flag and an American flag are a part of the overall setting. |
| Inscription: "Never in the field of human conflict was so much owed by so many to so few" -- Churchill's tribute to the Royal Air Force during the Battle of Britain.
