Saxon Crosses in the Picturesque Town of Sandbach in South Cheshire England

---

Sandbach has an important historical feature on the cobbled market square, two Saxon crosses that were reportedly built in the 7th, 8th or 9th century. The town has an entry in the Domesday Book from 1086, at which time it was sufficiently large to need a priest and a church. Sandbach is also home to many listed buildings, including Sandbach School, St Mary's Church and the Old Hall Hotel. Sandbach has been a market town since 1579 when it was granted a Royal Charter by Elizabeth I
