I find it interesting to read the contemporary account of the Norman invasion as I used to live at Pevensey Bay in the early 1960s.
I remember going to school past the castle which I think was probably the first one that was built under WtC.

That’s an enormous undertaking, which she thinks will take 11 years - what a tremendous piece of work for her to take on! There’s a very good copy of the Bayeux tapestry at Reading Museum, Berkshire. Embroidered by a group of women from Leek in Staffordshire, William Morris is believed to helped to research the herbal dyes used on the wool used in the embroidery. Some of the male genitalia was supposed to be alarming/offensive to the women doing the embroidery, so were covered up, unlike in the original, which is thought to have been done by nuns in Wessex. |

That is what I understood, The Bayeux tapestry was embroidered in England and is not a tapestry. |
