Biography
“Graythwaite High, a plain rough-cast hall, consisting of a centre and two wings, is the principal abode in Satterthwaite, and is distinguished as the seat of the main line of the ancient family of Sandys. In 1 Richard II. (1377-8), Richard del Sandys, and in 14 and 19 Richard II. (1390, 1394), Thomas del Sandys, the family being at that time of St. Bees, served as knights of the shire for Cumberland. The family came into Furness before the reign of Henry VI., towards the latter end of which William Sandys married Margaret, “cousin and heir of Thomas Rawlinson, abbot of Furness,” and was great-grandfather of Edwyn Sandys, Archbishop of York, ancestor of Lord Sandys, of Ombersley, in the county of Worcester.”[1]
"This William (or John) son of Robert Sandes, had issue William Sandes, who married the daughter of --- Bouham, and had issue by her William Sandes, who married Margaret, daughter and heir of William Rawson, of the county of York, and cousin and heir to Thomas Rawlinson, the abbot of Furness, in the county palatine of Lancaster;" [2]
