Unpicking the Bayeux Tapestry

The Bayeux Tapestry, so called because it is an embroidery made in Canterbury, doesn't actually reside in Hastings - it's in Bayeux - but I've given it to the Jedwood on loan for a day.

The tapestry is possibly one of the world's first comic strips - it tells the story of the Norman invasion of England and the battle of Hastings in sequential art form, complete with captions. All that's missing is speech balloons and panels separating the episodes in the story.
