Last Invasion Gallery

TIME : 2016/2/19 3:17:24

Upstairs in the Town Hall is the Last Invasion Gallery, which displays the Fishguard Tapestry . Inspired by the Bayeux Tapestry, which recorded the 1066 Norman invasion at Hastings, it was commissioned in 1997 to commemorate the bicentenary of the failed Fishguard invasion. It uses a similar cartoonish style as Bayeux' (albeit with less rude bits) and tells the story in the course of 37 frames and 30m of cloth. A film about its making demonstrates what a huge undertaking it was.
