Our town, Coventry, England, is famous for the Lady Godiva legend.
Essentially a woman supposedly rode around our city about 1000 years ago on a horse without wearing any clothes to embarrass her husband into reducing taxes for the poor. Some historians now doubt if that did in fact happen.
There is a statue of her in the city centre.
Do a wikipedia search for "Lady Godiva" to find out more.

She baked the cakes personally, apparently. And then sold them to staff working at 10 Downing Street (the PM's official residence) for "Red Nose Day".

So while Godiva stripped off SamCam (as she is known over here) got dressed up.
