Sir William Brereton of Brereton, ward of Sir Richard Sonbach
(Sandbach), who had grant of the wardship of said William from William
de Venables, Baron of Kinderton, to marry him or his younger brother,
Gilbert Brereton, if William died under age, to one of the legitimate
daughters of Richard Sandbach. Such were the precious servitudes of our
ancestors; and great must have been the docility and tractability of the
adults (and it is a remarkable trait in feudal manners) in submitting
their inclinations in the serious article of marriage to the inscrutable
wisdom of their seniors. Accordingly we find the heir of Brereton, William,
was (nolens volens) married to the daughter of Richard Sandbach.
The manor of Sandbach is given in Domesday among the possessions of
the Bigot-Bigod family, whose manors subsequently formed the fee of
Aldford, of which Sandbach was a dependency. A family was certainly
settled here in the reign of King John, who held Sandbach from Aldford
fee, and had assumed the local name. Near the manor house of Sandbach
is the market place containing the Crosses of Sandbach, which may
indisputably be ranked among the finest monuments of antiquity, of the
kind, now existing in the kingdom. They are supposed to have been
erected shortly after the introduction of Christianity on the places where
it was first preached. The present height of the Greater Cross is 16 ft.
