Hello karen and All, sorry answering so late. I was away for a seminar till yesterday. In my wonderful and book about this tapestry are very specific explanations for your questionsThe point where it was done they wrote that still since the beginning of 20th century the discussion if it was worked in France or in England is on. But today the scientist are sure that it was worked in England. There exist a a sculpture from a church in winchester which was created at the same time as the tapestry, in 1093/94. And there exist several English drawings which have the same "handwriting2 as the embroidery on the tapestry. They explain every detail like horses and rider, working things, details of battles and so on, and point out if people of that time knew the things showed on the tapestry. About the time of the production before 1067 probably. Why, in one scene Eustatius from Boulogne is identifiable. And he fall out of favor after 1077 because he took part on the revolution in Kent in 1068. Having read your mail again I have the impression answered the wrong thing. Perhaps you are interested in my answer too.
