Shakespeare’s Frieze - Much Ado About Nothing

This scene from Much Ado About Nothing is a tiny part of a beautiful surround frieze in the courtyard of the St James’s Hotel in Buckingham Gate, Victoria depicting scenes from Shakespeare’s plays in carved brickwork. Try as we may we can’t trace who designed it. Most people say it must have been Doulton when the company was based in Lambeth - but Doulton’s archive has no trace of it and doesn’t think it is quite in Doulton’s style. Can anyone out there help?
