This monumental embroidery tells the dramatic story of a moment that changed England forever. No year in the country's history is more famous than 1066. \u00a0It was the last time England was successfully invaded, and it is the year from which the modern monarchy dates itself. \u00a0And there is no other object that is as instantly recognisable, as studied in schools and as copied by artists as the Bayeux tapestry.\u00a0 One of the wonders of the medieval world, the tapestry offers a vision of life in 11th-century England both before and after the conquest, from castles, warfare and ships to clothing, food and furniture. Likely commissioned by a Norman patron and made by English embroiderers, using manuscript drawings from canterbury, the tapestry is both a precious historical record and a remarkable work of art.<\/p>\n
