The Bayeux Tapestry: Conquest, Survival, London

History British History Conservation World History

Two connected histories: the struggle for England’s crown in 1066, shaped into a narrative favourable to William, and the embroidery’s own journey through cathedral custody, Napoleonic reuse and an exceptional loan to London. The account is dated 6 September 2026, when the embroidery had arrived at the British Museum but its announced public opening was still ahead.
