Bayeux Tapestry

William won the battle of 1066 and the Normans took over England. His wife Queen Mathilda commissioned a tapestry to tell the story. The result is the Bayeux Tapestry which is like a 150 foot comic book. It is made of wool embroidery that is 900 years old.

It is very interesting. The audio tape added a lot of detail I would have missed. After walking the length of the tapestry Nancy and I saw a film that added a lot to our visit.

We went through exhibit with this group of English students.
