Description
Sandbach has an important historical feature on the cobbled market square, two Saxon crosses that were reportedly built in the 9th century. The crosses are Scheduled Ancient Monuments. A plaque near the crosses reads: Saxon crosses completed in the 9th century to commemorate the advent of Christianity in this Kingdom of Mercia about AD 653 in the reign of the Saxon king Penda. They were restored in 1816 by Sir John Egerton after destruction by iconoclasts
