Letter: Restore part of our heritage
I was amazed to read the letter from M. Smith that, on a visit to Hastings in 1966, they saw the Bayeux Tapestry in the triadome on Hastings Pier.
They did not. They saw the Hastings Embroidery.
Unfortunately, the people of Hastings cannot see this magnificent work of art – it’s in storage somewhere.

If Hastings did find a place to exhibit the Bayeux Tapestry, there would then, in due course, be a home for the embroidery.
