  So how did it arrive before?

    It was made here, so it didn’t arrive from anywhere else (though the linen/wool etc may have).

    I don’t know how it left 900 years ago though.

    Probably just rolled it up and chucked it on a horse and carriage, and then a boat. It would have been a lot less fragile then.
