Sandbach Crosses

Travel Information and nearby accommodation

The Sandbach Crosses are a pair of 9th century sculptured crosses. They are constructed of sandstone and stand side by side in the cobbled market place of Sandbach.

The crosses are elaborately carved in fine Celtic style with Biblical scenes, animal figures, and geometric patterns. Interestingly, it is thought that the crosses were originally painted. Together, they represent one of the best surviving examples of Saxon carving.
