Bayeux Tapestry

It was a fascinating programme. I wish I had known you could become an embroidery archaeologist when I was younger!

I loved seeing the tapestry in Bayeux some years back. I was also very moved by the stained glass in the nearby cathedral. I recorded the programme and shall watch it later.

We saw it too, many years ago. Absolutely amazing. I’ll have to look the programme up.

I'm doing bits of it in cross stitch and thoroughly enjoying it. I got the kits from a British company, Bothy threads. I was descended from the Plantaganets (along with thousands of other people).

We've been too. I must watch, thanks. It was so long ago, all I can remember is the room was very dark.

The colours in the tapestry are still amazing. It is on display in Bayeux which is a lovely little town. It is displayed around a central circular wall. There are headphone available in many languages and the tapestry is a series of smaller pictures telling the story. Each section is numbered and the audio description explains each one. It is a lovely thing to visit and when we went we had lunch in a little place almost opposite with a water wheel on the side. We were on our way to catch an evening ferry from Ouistreham.

Thanks Mollygo ?

BBC Four.

I’ve missed it obviously - what channel was it on ?

I watched it so interesting.
