Contribution of women to the Bayeux Tapestry

United Kingdom · UK Parliament · 9 September 2026

That this House welcomes the opening of the Bayeux Tapestry to the public at the British Museum, one of the world's most famous and celebrated works of art; notes that it was created by English women, whose individual names and identities were never recorded; further notes that despite its fame, popular and historical attention has repeatedly returned to its male patrons rather than to the women whose skill and artistry produced it; celebrates those unknown women, whose work has endured for almost a thousand years and continues to delight and inspire all who see it; and calls on the Government to consider what more can be done to ensure that women's historic contributions to art, culture and history are properly recognised, researched and celebrated.
