Showing an Australian friend around Coventry ,we ended out tour around the sights of the city at this statue ,she confused it with the story of the lady riding to Banbury cross !!We put her right !!We didn't wait for the clock

I have to tell you...this statue is the highlight of my life. If it wasn't for Lady Godiva Coventry would not be worth living in. She is the soul of our city. What a woman!

lovely statue depicting the legend of Lady Godiva who rode naked through the streets of Coventry opposing the tax charges of her husband!

Not many words can do justice to this iconic statue. People may find the city that it is in a bit drab, but all places have their downs as well as ups, so don't be put off and come and take a look at the history that this city has to reveal.

There she is - on her horse in the middle of the square! We'd almost forgotten about her story until we opened the window blinds in the morning and saw her on her horse presiding over the square!

the broadgate i knew and loved was full of grass,and an island and lady godiva was pointing towards the peeping tom clock now its just another statue. no coventry is just a concrete paved and hardly any shops it may aswell be bombed again by the germans
