The Sandbach Crosses are two heavily carved
Saxon stone crosses located in the town of Sandbach. They are
believed to date from the 9th century, to commemorate the advent
of Christianity in the Kingdom of Mercia about 653 A.D. during
the reign of the Saxon King Penda. They are decorated on all
faces with carved figures, animals and vine scrolls. The taller
cross shows biblical scenes and has a mutiliated head. The shorter
cross has a truncated shaft with the mutilated head of another
cross. Location: In the
centre of Sandbach in the market place. |
