…TOOK THE OATH TO DUKE WILLIAM – HERE DUKE HAROLD…

Note the pair of figures behind the duke's throne: is the one holding
his fingers up to the others lips to stop him from "spilling the beans?"
The story that Harold was tricked into promising William support in his
claim to the English throne

This image is in The Bayeux Cathedral. It's high on the walls of the Choir and easy to miss.

    The “textures” in the stone work is amazing. Easy to see how quilting designs come into being.

    Yes, I’ve tried to re-create those semi circle patterns but no success yet… but it would be a good quilting design.
