SUMMARY:Trevor Rowley - A Stitch in Time: The Miraculous Story of the Bayeux Tapestry
DESCRIPTION:The Bayeux Tapestry is an 11th century embroidery which tells the story of the events leading up to the Battle of Hastings and graphically illustrates the battle itself.  Most popular perceptions of the Norman Conquest of England are based on illustrations taken from the Tapestry.  In this talk Trevor will describe this extraordinary artefact\, how\, where\, when and why it was made.  He will also discuss its later history and the role it played during the Napoleonic Wars and World War II.  Trevor is an English landscape historian and archaeologist known for his work on the Welsh Marches\, Oxfordshire and the medieval landscape and published a book “The Landscape of the Bayeaux Tapestry” in 2023.  Amongst other distinguished posts\, he is a trustee and co-director of the Appleton Area Archaeological Research Project\, which is investigating the history and archaeology of his home village of Appleton.
