York in 1066: The Bishophill Hoard and York’s connection to the Bayeux Tapestry

1066 is one of the most famous dates in English history, but what did it mean for York? Join our Associate Collections Curator to uncover the city’s fascinating connection to the Norman Conquest. The talk will explore intriguing local evidence and revealing the pivotal role York and its people played in this momentous turning point in history.

You’ll also have the rare opportunity to take a closer look at a genuine coin from this period – an object from the Yorkshire Museum’s collection that isn’t currently on display.
