The Devonshire tapestries reflect a late stage of a style called international gothic or courtly style. It became popular around a number of European courts during the early 15th century.
The archer, female gemini and Virgo dress point towards this international style, not to England specifically. It just so happens that an example I particularly like for its clarity is from England. But even then, the tapestries were manufactured in Northern France.
