Graythwaite Hall: Graythwaite Hall designed by Thomas Mauson in 1890 is on the west side of Windermere, not far from Hill Top, where Ransome spent his last years, and Rusland, where he is buried. The Sandys family have lived at the Hall for over 500 years.
William Sandys (died circa 1548) who married to Margaret Dixon (died after 1548) owned Graythwaite Hall even though his principal residence was Esthwaite Hall. William and his wife are entombed in the Sandys Choir, in St Michael's Church, Hawkshead. Although the date of William's is death disputed, documents prove that it was obviously between 23 April 1546, when he signed his will, and 1549, when the Duchy of Lancaster records quote him as being deceased. These records refer to a case filed against his sons William & Christopher Sandys as to their legal right to smithies fees from 'Furnace Fells' jointly granted to their father and a William Sawrey by Henry VIII. William & Margaret had the following children; (1) George, died on 10 September 1547 in battle on the field of Musselburg, resided at Graywaite and Field Head in Hawkshead. (2) William, died about 1558; resided in Colton Hall and Cornishead Priory; was Bailiff of the Liberties in Furnace.(3) Edwin, (4) Christopher died in April 1588, and was buried on 15 April 1588 in Hawkshead Church, England. (5) Myles was a resident of Latimers and Isthahamp ?, Bucks and Brimpsfield, Gloucester Co., and of the Middle Temple, London. He was High Sheriff of Gloucester. (6) Anthony, died about November 1591, was buried on 13 November 1591 in Hawkshead Church, England. His descendant, Major George Owen Sandys occupied Esthwaite Hall in 1915 and (7) Anne.
In 1708 Myles Sandys, of Graythwaite Hall, was Sheriff of Lancashire. The garden at Graythwaite Hall, in the Lake District, was designed by T. H. Mawson in 1896.
A Mr. Sands of Graythwaite, attorney at law, married Beatrix Potter with whom he had a child that died young.
