| Description |
Three fragments from the
shaft of at least one Saxon cross of similar size and
date to those in the Market Place at Sandbach. Though
they are worn there is some figure sculpture and moulding
visible. There are also two pre- Viking fragments of
tomb slabs with figure and animal carving. They were
all formerly built into the cross base in the Market
Place, but removed to the churchyard in 1956. |
