I chose Godiva as she is one of Coventry's best known icons and legends. As the story goes, Godiva rode through the centre of the city naked, to persuade her husband to reduce the amount of his unfair taxes on the city. Another element to her story was Peeping Tom, after Godiva ordered Coventry's citizens "not to peep" as she rode around naked, one man, Peeping Tom did, resulting in him becoming blind. Peeping Tom became the instrument for Godiva going missing.
