Historic Hastings tapestry on display in Rye wows visitors
Visitors to Rye have been left ‘in awe’ of the historic Hastings tapestry on display there.
The embroidery, which was commissioned to celebrate the 900th anniversary of the Battle of Hastings, is currently on show at the site of a proposed new creative arts centre at Bridge Point, Rock Channel. The 245ft tapestry was created by the Royal School of Needlework in 1966 and has now been taken out of storage for the first time in decades for this exhibition.
Members of the public were invited to view the embroidery for the first time last weekend, with some amazing responses.
