The Lady Godiva Story





Follow the trails of the Lady of courage who dared to do what was needed to see people rescued from oppression



Inspiration for Lady Godiva's horse ~ the Spanish stallion Boethos



The Spanish eye




The Spanish stallion at Northfield farm, Derbyshire, was a marvellous help and inspiration to inform the sculpture of Boethos,


Lady Godiva's horse,

stepping out from the safety of her courtyard


Stepping Out




Boethos...all ready to be tacked up and saddled for Lady Godiva to ride



Close up of the details of the bridle and reins




The ornamented saddle and folds of Lady Godivas dropped cloak



The project progressed and the finished clay sculpture cast into Bronze by the lost wax process.
