The Bayeux Tapestry

Thursday 18th February 2027, 14:30-15:45
Abbey Baptist Church, Abbey Square, Reading, Berkshire RG1 3BE
A Talk by local historian Sue Ellis

The Bayeux Tapestry came to the UK in September 2026 – but what is it? This talk looks at its origins, the way it was created in the eleventh century, (and a bit about what has happened to it over the intervening years), and what the images on the tapestry tell us about King Edward the Confessor, King Harold, and Duke William of Normandy – as well as what they don’t tell us.

2.30 - 3.45pm

£5 (£4 Berks FHS members) - ticket price includes tea/coffee and biscuits

Either pre-book or pay at the door (subject to spaces)
