The book stacks are arranged in rows perpendicular to the walls under the intervals between the windows.

At the end of each stack is a fine limewood carving by Grinling Gibbons, and above these are plaster cast busts of notable writers through the ages.

Other marble busts standing on plinths depict notable member of the college and are mostly carved by Louis-François Roubiliac.

A later addition is a full size statue of Lord Byron carved by Bertel Thorvaldsen, originally offered to Westminster Abbey for inclusion in Poets ' Corner, but refused due to the poet's reputation for immorality.
