Breaking news: we've just signed a once-in-a-lifetime loan agreement to bring rural England's most iconic artwork home for the first time in 1,000 years. Introducing our 2027 major exhibition - Bayewe Tapestry: the Fight to Wool England.

Join us as we shear the Norman conquest like never before. Meet some of English history's most iconic characters, from the conniving Duke Willilamb to the tragic Harold Godwinshorn. And learn about what really happened at the Baa-tle of Hastings.

Thank you to our supporters and funders, uniofreading, and our inspiration britishmuseum.
