St Mary's Church, Sandbach, Medieval Anglican church building in Sandbach, England

The church stands on a low hill above Dingle Brook, featuring a clerestoried nave, five-bay choir, aisles, side chapels, and a western tower.

The Domesday Book of 1086 recorded the original church, which was later reconstructed in the late 15th century using local reddish sandstone.

The church contains numerous memorial sculptures, including one dedicated to Reverend John Armistead created by renowned artist G. F. Watts.

The building underwent major restoration work by architect Sir George Gilbert Scott between 1847 and 1849, using stone from Mow Cop quarries.

The western tower rests on three open arches that create a public passageway underneath, an unusual architectural feature for church buildings.
