Sandbach

place and town

Aged unknown

Sandbach (pronounced /ˈsændbætʃ/) is the name of a historic market town and a civil parish in the unitary authority of Cheshire East, Cheshire, England. The civil parish contains four settlements: Sandbach itself as the largest, Elworth, Ettiley Heath and Wheelock. Sandbach is perhaps best known as the original home of Foden and ERF lorries, though neither company now exists in the town; twelve-times National Brass Band Championship winners Foden's Band; the ancient Saxon Sandbach Crosses; and Sandbach services on the M6 motorway.

Survival of the Crosses This is part of the ninth-century cross that was erected in 1578 to mark a charter granting Sandbach a weekly market. This piece survived Protestant extremists' attempts to destroy it and helped inspire the restoration of the crosses in 1810
