The original Bayeux Tapestry was in fact an embroidery measuring more than 70 metres (230 ft) in length.  It was produced during the 11^th century to celebrate the Norman invasion of England and the Battle of Hastings in 1066, probably commissioned by Bishop Odo of Bayeux, the brother of William the Conqueror.  This famous example of textile art shows more than 70 scenes containing hundreds of images describing the invasion and battle.  We offer a selection of wall hangings depicting King Harold and the defending Saxons and William the Conqueror and the invading Norman army.  The simplicity of the design highlights the vivid colours used in these reproduction wall hangings making them suitable for use in many room settings such as bedrooms, over fireplaces and in hallways and studies.
