There is a “rumour” that Lady Godiva was born at Bucknall. About 5/6 miles away from my home.

According to Wiki….this is “spurious.”

Bucknall

If you’ve read King, Hereafter by Dorothy Dunnett (her novel about Macbeth) Lady Godiva plays a role therein.

Anyhoo.

Tennyson (MY Local POET) and Godiva.

Q of the day today : Did she ride naked through Coventry ? ? ?

P.S. Did Tennyson know about our local legend ref Bucknall?
