Unique parochial seal - a photo on Flickriver

            Richard I was born in the neighbouring Beaumont Palace (at the Worcester College end of Beaumont Street). 

Richard 'the Lion Heart' retained an interest in the church of St Mary Magdalen, and the parishioners were allowed a common seal that bore a crescent beneath a star, a device used by the King in the Third Crusade.

This is thought to be a unique privilege.
