The Stamford Bridge Tapestry commemorates the Battle of Stamford Bridge in 1066: It took five years; twenty-five stitchers; one talented designer; and a man with a dream! If you've seem the Bayeaux tapestry, then you must see this!

The brainchild of Tom Wyles, it is a work produced in the spirit and style of the Bayeux tapestry. It commemorates the Battle of Stamford Bridge in 1066, which marked the end of the Viking era, and ultimately changed the course of our country’s history, culture and language. Harold defeated the vikings at Stamford Bridge and then marched to Hastings Where are you? he was defeated by William of Normandy.
