Stone Cross Head Fragment

Sherwood Sandstone.

800-873 CE

This cross-head fragment comes from Repton, a major Mercian royal monastery founded in the 600s CE. Found during archaeological excavations in 1981, it is a fragment of a larger monument, possibly a house-shaped shrine.

Repton was famously taken over by the Viking Great Army in 873 CE. The shrine it was part of may have been broken up during the Viking occupation.
