Details

Britain's full-size copy of the famous Bayeux Tapestry is displayed in its magnificent entirety in this purpose-built gallery. This faithful replica is 70 metres long. It was made by 35 skilled Victorian women embroiderers in 1885 so that Britain should have its own copy of the tapestry. We have a page on this site and an entire separate site dedicated to Britain's Bayeux Tapestry. For more information please follow the links below.
