I only caught the end of Godiva's travels around Stratford, but here's the final segment - walking through the streets, grooving to a Salsa band, then arriving at Shakespeare's birthplace (greeting an actor portraying Shakespeare's Ghost en-route).

Godiva Awakes
On Saturday 28 July 2012 Godiva awoke in Coventry after 1000 years asleep. This is a small clip from her awakening.
More about Godiva Awakes:
Part of the London 2012 Cultural Olympiad, Godiva Awakes is a unique spectacle where Lady Godiva has been created in the form of a six-foot high marionette. She awoke on the 28th July 2012 and is riding her Cyclopedia, powered by a team of 100 cyclists to London to deliver the Book of Intent, which bears the pledges of young people to make positive changes to the world they live in, to the Olympic host city.
Make was invited to design a permanent sculpture which would represent the legacy of Lady Godiva's act of selflessness. The house, symbolically representing Godiva's home and in which Godiva will be displayed after her journey, will be located in the heart of Coventry and become a potent symbol of the city's participation in the Olympic Games.

The Lady Godiva clock in Coventry
Lady Godiva (fl. 1040--1080) was an Anglo-Saxon noblewoman who, according to legend, rode naked through the streets of Coventry, in England, in order to gain a remission of the oppressive taxation imposed by her husband on his tenants. The name Peeping Tom for a voyeur originates from later versions of this legend in which a man named Tom had watched her ride and was struck blind or dead.

Ruins of Coventry Cathedral The Cathedral Church of St Michael in Coventry
The Cathedral Church of St Michael, commonly known as Coventry Cathedral, is the seat of the Bishop of Coventry and the Diocese of Coventry, in Coventry, West Midlands, England. The current (9th) Bishop is Christopher Cocksworth and the current Dean is John Witcombe.
The city has had three cathedrals. The first was St Mary's, a monastic building, of which only a few ruins remain. The second was St Michael's, a 14th-century Gothic church later designated cathedral, that remains a ruined shell after its bombing during the Second World War. The third is the new St Michael's Cathedral, built after the destruction of the former.
The first cathedral in Coventry was St Mary's Priory and Cathedral, 1095 to 1102, when Robert de Limesey moved the bishop's see from Lichfield to Coventry,[1] until 1539 when it fell victim to King Henry VIII's Dissolution of the Monasteries. Prior to 1095, it had been a small Benedictine monastery (endowed by Leofric, Earl of Mercia and Lady Godiva in 1043),[2] Shortly after 1095 rebuilding began and by the middle of the 13th century it was a cathedral of 142 yards in length and included many large outbuildings.[3]Leofric was probably buried within the original Saxon church in Coventry. However, records suggest that Godiva was buried at Evesham Abbey, alongside her father confessor, Prior Aefic.
