Yes, it is. It is the only taperstry made that shows the story of The Battle of Hastings. The Normans paid the Saxons, who were very well known for their taperstry, to create it so show of their great victory. As it was made by the Saxons historians do not know if it was changed slightly so it didn't make them look too weak. It it around 50cm high and 70m long.
Hope this helps!

Was the Bayeux Tapestry Saxon or Norman?
The Bayeux Tapestry is preserved and displayed in Bayeux, in Normandy, France. Nothing is known for certain about the tapestry's origins. The first written record of the Bayeux Tapestry is in 1476 when it was recorded in the cathedral treasury at Bayeux as "a very long and narrow hanging on which are embroidered figures and inscriptions comprising a representation of the conquest of England". The Bayeux Tapestry was probably commissioned in the 1070s by Bishop Odo of Bayeux, half-brother of William the Conqueror. It is over 70 metres long and although it is called a tapestry it is in fact an embroidery, stitched not woven in woollen yarns on linen. Some historians argue that it was embroidered in Kent, England. The original tapestry is on display at Bayeux in Normandy, France. So it seems the jury's out on that one.
What famous battle does the bayeux tapestry depict?
Events depicted on the Bayeux Tapestry are the events leading up to the Norman conquest of England, including the Battle of Hastings. The Tapestry is not actually a tapestry; it is 70 meters long.
