    DescriptionThe face of a 16-year-old woman buried near Cambridge in the 7th century with an incredibly rare gold and garnet cross (the ‘Trumpington Cross’) has been reconstructed following analysis of her skull.

    The striking image is going on public display for the first time on 21st June 2023, with new scientific evidence showing that she moved to England from Central Europe as a young girl, leading to an intriguing change in her diet.
