After nearly 20 years in the British army, Imogen Corrigan studied Anglo-Saxon & Medieval History and Art.

There is far more to be discovered about the Bayeux Tapestry. Who made it? Where? Why? What information can it offer us? Not just a narrative of the most famous battle in English history, but of the build-up to it. A moral story showing that good cannot come to oath breakers. Astory of kings, chivalry and ambition. Many crucial events are omitted -why? The lecture looks at many of the scenes in detail and explores what might be learned from this depiction of a turning point in our history.
