The Anglo-Saxon, sculptured cross-head in St Michael's Church, Cropthorne, Worcestershire. It dates from 800 AD and has ornate decoration including interlacing, a griffin, birds and foliage. Today the cross-head is protected by a glass case. It may commemorate king Offa of Mercia who stayed here. He died in 796 AD.
