I saw this. It was done by Victorian embroiderers, and was amazing, but the part I remember is one of the incidental characters. In the original, he was quite conspicuously nude; in the reproduction he was given a pair of shorts.

As an aside, I see that this blog has been around from early 2000s, and has been regularly updated, almost every day. Quite fascinating...

That fanfic ending of the Bayeux Tapestry in Reading is an obvious Victorian fabrication. The original depicts the c-base space station crashing on earth. It can be viewed in Berlin: https://www.flickr.com/photos/bergie/46619220061/
