The two huge crosses at Sandbach (pronounced sand-batch; most are probably familiar with the Sandbach Services on the M6) ; I've travelled many miles taking in other crosses en route, but these two are as near as on my doorstep, and I'd never visited! The astonishment I felt at their size was in proportion to said size.
