The face of a 16-year-old girl thought to be one of the country’s first Christians has been reconstructed following analysis of a skull unearthed at a 1,400-year-old Anglo Saxon burial site.

Through modern facial reconstruction, experts have identified the face of an Anglo-Saxon girl from the Trumpington Bed Burial as one of England's earliest Christian converts.

The face of a 16-year-old girl who died more than 1,300 years ago is revealed.

The striking image will go on display for the first time on June 21, 2023, as part of a Cambridge University exhibition.

The face of a 16-year-old girl thought to be one of the country's first Christians - and possible royalty - has been reconstructed 1,400 years after she died.

The young woman, who was buried in England around 1,300 years ago with an extremely rare gold cross, is thought to have been an early Christian convert.

The girls remains was found in the Cambridgeshire village of Trumpington more than a decade ago. Now, scientists have created an image of what she would have looked like.

One October morning in 2004, a woman took the lift to the 21st floor of an office block in north-west London, bought a coffee in the cafe there – then opened a window and jumped out. No one knew who she was. Do they now?

All these and more got readers talking this week.

The woman was found at a scenic beach spot at Burnham-on-Sea, Somerset, on January 13 1993 by an off-duty coastguard.
