The famous feast scene in the Bayeux Tapestry , two years before King Harold was brutally killed at the Battle of Hastings , has been located by archaeologists.

Experts can now identify with certainty the site of King Harold's palace in Bosham , West Sussex , based on the discovery of an 'en suite' toilet discovered there in 2006 .

They say the private port, a church which was part of the estate, and the remains of a water mill, all indicate the rise of 'conspicuous' buildings seen in England before the Norman Conquest .

Holy Trinity Church , which is still standing has a sundial, as such was the power of the royals and aristocracy that they even 'controlled time', with ordinary people needing to consult their sundials to know when to pray. Co-author Professor Oliver Creighton , from the University of Exeter , said: ' The Norman Conquest saw a new ruling class supplant an English aristocracy that has left little in the way of physical remains, which makes the discovery at Bosham hugely significant — we have found an Anglo -Saxon show-home.'.
