When his business was enlarged in 1881 by the establishment of a tapestry industry at Merton Abbey Mills, in South West London, Morris found yet another means for expressing the medievalism that inspired all his work, whether on paper or at the loom.

The reasons for the Odo commission theory include: 1 ) three of the bishop's followers mentioned in the Domesday Book appear on the tapestry ; 2 ) it was found in Bayeux Cathedral, built by Odo ; and 3 ) it may have been commissioned at the same time as the cathedral's construction in the 1070s, possibly completed by 1077 in time for display on the cathedral's dedication.

Assuming Odo commissioned the tapestry, it was probably designed and constructed in England by Anglo-Saxon artists ( Odo's main power base being by then in Kent ); the Latin text contains hints of Anglo-Saxon ; other embroideries originate from England at this time ; and the vegetable dyes can be found in cloth traditionally woven there.
