The Cherhill Gang was a group of highwaymen in the 18th century in England. They used to attack carriages of wealthy Londoners traveling the road from London to Bath in a unique way by carrying out their attacks completely naked. This was for two reasons: it was to distract the travelers and also so that they would not be identified by their clothing.
There is a painting in The Black Horse Inn in Cherhill depicting an attack by the naked highwaymen.
