Tower of the Winds, Radcliffe Observatory, Oxford:

In between the signs of the zodiac on the north face are the three Morning, Noon and Evening panels, also in Coade stone, which were the work of a third sculptor, Robert Smirke.

On the Morning and Noon panels, the quadriga (four-horse chariot) of Helios (the sun)
is seen riding across the sky, and the Evening panel depicts Nyx (the night)
with Artemis (goddess of the moon) setting off for the night's journey.
