There are no plans for the Bayeux Tapestry to visit England at any time in the foreseeable future.
However, a full-size replica of it was made by the wife of textile manufacturer Thomas Wardle in collaboration with William Morris, which was completed in 1886 and is currently in the Museum of Reading in Berkshire.

What is a diffrenent word for tapestry?
Tapestries were often known by the name of their city or factory of origin. In Hamlet, Polonius hides (and is stabbed) behind the Arras; Arras is a town in northern France famous for tapestry production. Similarly, one might speak of a fine Gobelins, if the tapestry was made at the Royal (now State) factory in Paris. Notes: 1: Polonius could hide behind the Arras because tapestries were hung about a foot from the wall, to keep them out of the rising damp. 2: Note that tapestry is woven, not stitched. Other decorative fabrics, such as petit point or Berlin work, are sometimes mistakenly referred to as tapestry.

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.
