'An Archaeological Study of the Bayeux Tapestry' provides a unique re-examination of this famous piece of work through the historical geography and archaeology of the tapestry.Trevor Rowley is the first author to have analysed the tapestry through the landscapes,buildings and structures shown,such as towns and castles,while comparing them to the landscapes,buildings, ruins,and earthworks which can be seen today.By comparing illustrated extracts from the tapestry to historical and contemporary illustrations, maps and reconstructions,Rowley is able to provide the reader with a unique visual setting against which they are able to place the events on the tapestry.
This approach allows Rowley to challenge accepted assumptions regarding the location of several scenes in the tapestry,most controversially suggesting that William may never have gone to Hastings at all.The importance of the Roman legacy is also emphasised,not only in its contribution to the conduct of the military campaigns,but also in the design of the Tapestry itself.Finally,Rowley tackles the missing end of the tapestry, suggesting the places and events which would have been depicted on this portion of William's journey to Westminster.
