1. Title: "A Glimpse into the Past: The Saxon Crosses of Sandbach, Cheshire (1873)" This evocative photograph captures the historical charm of Sandbach, Cheshire, with its ancient Saxon crosses standing proudly in the heart of the market place. Dating back to the 10th century, these monuments are a testament to the rich history and cultural significance of this picturesque English town. The crosses, which were discovered during excavations in the 19th century, are believed to have been erected during the Anglo-Saxon period. They are intricately carved with intricate designs and symbols, reflecting the religious and artistic sensibilities of the time. One of the crosses, known as the "Whittington Cross," is particularly noteworthy for its elaborate decoration and the inscription that reads "Withegod," which is believed to be the name of the craftsman who created it.
