THE BAYEUX TAPESTRY. [To THE EDITOR OF THE " SescrATon."1

Ste.—With reference to the interesting article on the Bayeux Tapestry, published in the Spectator of May 13th, some of your readers may not be aware that an exact facsimile of the tapestry is to be seen in the Museum at Reading. It was worked by thirty-five ladies at Leek, Staffordshire, begun in 1885 and completed during the following year. It was pre- sented to the town by Alderman Hill, J.P. Her Majesty the Queen inspected the tapestry with great interest at Windsor Castle on its completion.—I am, Sir, &c.,
