Bayeux Tapestry Workshop

The Year 7s and I really enjoyed the opportunity to see the BBC Live ‘Bayeux Tapestry’ Workshop recently. It helped us learn more about what life was like in 1066, when the Battle of Hastings took place. We learnt that Bishop Odo, who commissioned the tapestry, was half-brother to William the Conqueror! He hired skilled needleworkers in England to stitch the embroidery and he is pictured below at a feast. 

Overall, we had an excellent time, and we all really appreciated the opportunity to learn about this magnificent relic of the past.
