BBC: The Wisbech embroiderer racing to recreate the Bayeux Tapestry

As the British Museum prepares to put the #Bayeux Tapestry on display in London next September, the Cambridgeshire-based artist is furiously working away on her own full-size replica.

The original, nearly 1,000 years old and 70m (230ft) in length, tells the story of the 1066 Norman conquest of England and the Battle of Hastings.
