QuoteA researcher at the University of Manchester has made a new claim about how the Bayeux Tapestry was made over 900 years ago.

The widely-accepted theory is that it was created by teams of nuns across England, in nine sections which were then stitched together.

PhD researcher Alexandra Makin said the needlework is "consistent throughout".

This, she said, implies that one group of specialist embroiderers worked on it, in the same place at the same time.
