Turmoil at Sandbatch as Royalist and Scots clash near Congleton
On September fourth near Sandbatch the Townfolk attacked the approaching Scottish force, driving them from horses with clubs and improvised weapons. Many Scots fled to houses while capturing some rifles and powder. By evening the routed party, about 1,600 strong, regrouped near Green, with numerous prisoners and casualties reported in Congleton and nearby areas. Diddesbury and other towns saw losses, while proclamations urged pursuit of Charles Stuart and key traitors.
