A resident for most of his life at the manor house of East Cholderton, about a mile and a half from Andover, he recovered, after the death in 1488 of his first cousin Sir Bernard Brocas, the residence called The Vyne which their mutual grandfather, Sir Walter Sandys, had alienated to Bernard's mother, Joan Sandys Brocas, on her marriage as her dowry.
Sir William Sandys, the elder, died testate with a will dated Oct. 17, 1493 which was proved Apr. 8, 1497 [Testamenta Vetusta, pp. 432-433], which mentioned his goods at Andover and at The Vyne, his wife Margaret, and sons William and Richard.
He and Margaret were buried in a recess in the south wall of the chancel of the Chapel of the Holy Ghost. When the Chapel of the Holy Trinity was built circa 1524 adjoining this same wall, an arched opening was made between the two structures, and their monument was placed there.
