So the Sandbach crosses are rumoured in the past to contain a couple of verses the bottom verse which could only be read if you held your head downwards.
Does anyone think they know the meaning?
Is there a link to the church or possibly Bradwall?
”With awful steps approach this shrine,
Sacred to Druid erst divine;
Here ancient Virtue still preserve,
Nor ever from its precepts swerve”
“In Sanbache, in the Sandy Ford
Lieth the ninth part of Dublin’s hord;
Nine to, and nine fro’,
Take me down, or else I fall.”
