Oh, no it isn't!

It's the 950th anniversary of the Battle of Hastings and as part of the commemorations children are being asked to contribute ideas for an up-to-date version of the Bayeux Tapestry.  Well there's one thing you need to know about the Bayeux Tapestry - it's not a tapestry, it's an embroidery!  The distinction is that in a tapestry, the images are woven in as part of the cloth, whereas with an embroidery, they are stitched on over the top.  Furthermore, the Battle of Hastings was not fought at Hastings at all, but at a site about 7 miles away, now called Battle.  And did you know that the two sides had a break for lunch?
