Bosham Church in the Bayeux Tapestry, West Sussex

A beautiful handmade replica of the Bayeux Tapestry on display in the church, showing what seems to be the present chancel arch, the ill-fated William entering to offer prayers before sailing from Bosham to Normandy to visit William, the future 'William the Conqueror'; the last time England was conquered, the date every schoolboy knows, (or use to) AD 1066

 

No one knows for sure who commissioned the Bayeux Tapestry or where it was intended to be hung in either England or Normandy, but it is thought to have been a gift to William the Conqueror and created by Anglo Saxon weavers probably around Canterbury.

 

(I'd hoped to use the new 'reflection removal' function in Photoshop but can't get it to recognize the PEF (Pentax's raw files) format...or am I doing something wrong or is there a way around the problem?)
