DescriptionCathedral Lanes Shopping Centre - Broadgate, Coventry - Lady Godiva statue and clock.jpg |
A quick look at the Cathedral Lanes Shopping Centre in Coventry. Lady Godiva statue in Broadgate. Behind is the Lady Godiva Clock (with Lady Godiva News on the ground floor). Grade II* listed statue. SP 3379 SW COVENTRY BROADGATE (east side) 833/4/10097 Lady Godiva statue II* Equestrian figure of Lady Godiva. 1949 by Sir Williain Reid Dick, sculptor, at the expense of William Bassett-Green. Bronze statue on Portland stone base. Rectangular plinth with overhanging cavetto moulding, a podium with cavetto and roll mouldings at the base and battered sides. The design of the base is reminiscent of the work of Sir Edwin Lutyens, who had died in 1944 but with whom Dick had frequently worked. The statue symbolised the regeneration of Coventry after its bombing and was donated to boost morale at a time when rebuilding work was delayed by shortages. It was intended as the focal point of Broadgate, and originally faced the clock tower of Broadgate House where it could be seen by 'Peeping Tom'. Lady Godiva was turned through ninety degrees in 1990, to face the entrance to the Upper Precinct and to lie on axis between the Lower Precinct and Cathedral.
