This site features Michael Linton's Medieval Mosaic recreation and extension of the Bayeux Tapestry and his original word puzzles and jigsaw puzzles.
Michael's Medieval Mosaic was created and is displayed in Geraldine, New Zealand. It depicts the Battle of Hastings (1066) and is supported by a complete analysis of the events, culture and history concerning the Norman Conquest. This recreation is a stunning 42 meters; painted onto a canvas of steel chips. View the Medieval Mosaic Gallery.
