From English Heritage : “These two massive Saxon stone crosses dominate the cobbled market square of Sandbach. They are elaborately carved with animals and Biblical scenes including the Nativity of Christ and the Crucifixion, and probably date from the 9th century. They were originally painted as well as carved, and they are among the finest surviving examples of Anglo-Saxon high crosses.”

The plaque says “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.”

I like how Komoot asks 'Would you recommend this Highlight to others?'. I mean, yes, it's one to be ticked off the list I suppose but a 'recommendation' feels a little bit like sadistically inflicting pain on others, lol. On a serious note, just be prepared for a tech-y descent given the steepness, parked cars and oncoming traffic. Mercifully, I managed about three-quarters of free flow downhill before having to brake once and duck in behind a parked car to give way to a Mini; think I'd have hated it had it been more stuttered.
