Reader, there was already a well-established tradition before his time that there was a certain tailor who had taken a peek at Lady Godiva, and that at the annual Trinity Great Fair ( now called the Godiva Festival ) featuring the Godiva processions " a grotesque figure called Peeping Tom " would be set on display, and it was a wooden statue carved from oak.

Biog., the oldest document that mentions " Peeping Tom " by name is a record in Coventry's official annals, dating to June 11, 1773, documenting that the city issued a new wig and paint for the wooden effigy.

Additional legend proclaims that Peeping Tom was later struck blind as heavenly punishment, or that the townspeople took the matter in their own hands and blinded him.

The Peeping Tom story is absent in the few sources contemporary with Godiva.
