Before Tuesday’s day in history, we are off on travels today. 
- First 2 night stop Bury Saint Edmunds, staying at The Old Cannon Brewery (https://www.oldcannonbrewery.co.uk), looking forward to that. 
- Next, off to The Old Palace Lodge in Lincoln for 2 nights (https://theoldpalace.org), mainly to do the cathedral. 
- Lastly, on the journey back home, stopping at the closest place to stay to Babs’ daughter and husband, we are doing 2 nights at The Bedingfeld Arms in Norfolk (https://www.bedingfeldarms.co.uk). Oxburgh Hall is very close to it and Paul & Laura have not yet got to go. 
As usual I will do my best to visit the last 70 wall posting visitors. So, back to this day in history…

It’s Friday and on this day in history:
Lady Godiva
1040 Lady Godiva rides naked on horseback through Coventry, according to legend, to persuade her husband, the Earl of Mercia, to lower taxes
> > > Clint’s comment: I’m trying to imagine this happening in 2026… lol. That said, I asked Copilot… 
The closest modern equivalent: World Naked Bike Ride (WNBR)
The UK hosts annual naked or semi‑naked protest rides, especially in London, Brighton, Bristol, Cardiff, and other cities. These are environmental and anti‑car‑culture protests, not tax protests.
A 2025 London article describes unclothed cyclists riding across the city with slogans like “Less gas, more ass” and “Love your body, love the Earth.”
