In this month’s episode we take a very short trip back in time, because we’re looking at the Bayeux Tapestry. Joining me is professional embroiderer and textile archaeologist Dr Alexandra Makin, and together we chat about the story and context of this intriguing object. Who made the tapestry and why? How does it compare to other embroidery of the time? And can I persuade Alex to get off the fence and say something outrageous? Tune in to find out!
