Description
English: 1876 sculpture of John Armistead M.A., Vicar of Sandbach 1828-1865, by George Frederic Watts, sculpted by George Nelson, at St Mary's Church, Sandbach The plaque reads:

To the glory of God and in remembrance of
John Armistead M.A.
Vicar of this Parish from A.D. 1828 A.D. 1865.
During his incumbency and mainly through his efforts and influence,
This, the mother church, was restored and enlarged,
Three district churches were erected and endowed at Wheelock, Elworth and Sandbach Heath,
The grammar school was rebuilt, and the national schools were established;
The almshouses were were erected with the noble object of giving help
To deserving poverty, and shelter to decent old age;
And provision was made for the wise expenditure of the income of the Sandbach Charity Estate.
A landowner in the Parish caused this monument to be placed here,
As a memorial of long friendship, and as a record of public worth.
