The parish church of St Mary in Sandbach, Cheshire was originally built in the early 16th century on the site of an earlier Saxon church, though by the mid-19th century it was in a poor condition. The church was completely rebuilt in the late 1840s, much of the original church being replaced or re-used encased in new material. The rebuilt church was extended though the rebuilt west tower was faithful to the original.
The church has a nave with clerestories, aisles and a side chapel. The architectural style is Perpendicular. An usual feature of the tower is that a footpath passes through it's open base. The church is built from red sandstone.
