Birmingham Evening Mail – Sept 16
A Replica cross found as part of the Staffordshire Hoard is to be given to the Pope as a gift from the people of Birmingham.
Craftsmen and women in the Jewellery Quarter have been working round the clock to recreate a folded cross which was thought to have been deliberately bent in two to fit inside the seventh century hoard.
Birmingham City Council asked silversmith Shona Marsh to make the cross, using a prototype made by the Jewellery Industry Innovation Centre, at the Birmingham City University School of Jewellery.
Councillor Alan Rudge will present it to Pope Benedict before he carries out mass in Cofton Park on Sunday. Mark Watkins, a technologist from the JIIC, was given the initial task of ‘unfolding’ the cross on screen using artist’s impression, before his images were made into patterns.
The five pieces that form the cross were then cut separately and soldered together before being plated in gold with garnet insets to make it looks as it would have done in Anglo Saxon times.
The silver was donated by Cookson Precious Metals and staff gave up their own time to work on the project.
The cross, which has been hallmarked with the city’s anchor at the Birmingham Assay Office and is the size of an A4 sheer, has been places in a presentation box made by Chris Croton, of Britain Clock Cases Ltd.
Coun Rudge said “When it goes to the Vatican with his Holiness, it will undoubtedly be a reminder of this historic event in our great city”.

In 2007, the Jewellery Quarter joined forces with the Birmingham City Centre Trail, which not only won a Gold Award in the Urban Regeneration category, but was also nominated for the National Britain ‘In Bloom’ competition in 2009. The Jewellery Quarter ‘In’ Bloom initiatives are supported by the Ladywood Ward Community Chest Funding and the Working Neighbourhoods Fund.

This years City Centre Floral Trail and ‘In Bloom’ Judging 23rd July 2010
Judges arrived in Birmingham on 23rd July to inspect the city’s finest flowers on a whistle stop tour starting at the Lickey Hills Country Park and ending at Lady Holte’s Garden in Aston Hall.
This year Birmingham is competing in the ‘Large City’ category with scoring based on horticultural achievement, environmental responsibility, and community participation.
The results of the competition will be announced at the Heart of England Awards Ceremony at Pershore Abbey early in September. For more information visit: http://heartofenglandinbloom.co.uk
More than thirty Jewellery Quarter businesses and organisations have supported this years Jewellery Quarter 2010 ‘In Bloom’ flower festival by sponsoring lamppost baskets, flowers, and window boxes. These beautiful floral tributes are displayed outside their shops and businesses and without their support it would be extremely difficult to secure sufficient funding to participate in the competition.
