Reading’s unique full-size replica of the Bayeux Tapestry is 140 years old this year! Visit for free or book a guided tour with one of our expert team. From September you can compare it to the original on display at the other end of the Elizabeth Line in the British Museum! #BayeuxTapestry

A detail from Reading Museum's Bayeux Tapestry, showing soldiers fighting with swords on horseback and on foot at the Battle of Hastings. There are two borders at the top and bottom, with birds and animals at the top, and archers in the bottom.

Everyone knows there are nine witch hills in Hookland, but no-one can agree which nine hills they are. It's said if you climb to the top of them all, fabulous secrets will be revealed – the calling of winds, tunnels to St. Martin's Land, all the tumps where treasure still lies dreaming.

Calling A-level English teachers! Do you teach Austen, Brontë, or other 18thc stuff? Could you use a set of free research-informed teaching materials, which support students' historical, literary, & linguistic understanding, & foster debate about misogyny, consent, & healthy relationships? (1/?)

Teaching and learning materials
We have produced a set of resources for A-level English teachers. They focus on an extraordinary sequence of letters written between Mary Hamilton - then a governess to the daughters of George III and Queen Charlotte - and the young Prince of Wales, the future George IV.

Using the supporting resources, these letters can be studied as a powerful narrative with modern-day #MeToo echoes, as contextualising support for Jane Austen and Charlotte Bronte;'s novels, or as examples of eighteenth-century English.
