This was the second year the famous Sealed Knot had visited Sandbach to enact a skirmish that originally took place in September 1651. Royalist and Scots having being pursued after losing the Battle of Worcester were heading North and had stopped at Sandbach Service Station for a break .....oooops sorry .. stopped in Sandbach Town but were caught by the advance guard of the Parliamentarian army.
The Sealed Knot arrived in large numbers and after congregating in Mill Street they marched through the town and formed up in the park before having a battle rehearsal in the afternoon.
