Early Origins of the Sandwick familyThe surname Sandwick was first found in Kent where they held a family seat as Lords of the Manor. One of the first records of the family was Henry de Sandwich (died 1273), bishop of London, was son of Sir Henry de Sandwich, a knight of Kent. "Ralph de Sandwich was probably his brother. He is perhaps the Henry de Sandwich, clerk, who had license to hold an additional benefice, with cure of souls, on 7 June 1238." 1 Later Ralph de Sandwich (d. 1308?), was an English judge, probably brother of Henry de Sandwich, Bishop of London. "He was a knight, lord of lands in Ham and Eynsham, and patron of the church of Waldesham, all in Kent. During the reign of Henry III he was appointed keeper of the wardrobe. In 1264 he withdrew from the king and joined the confederate barons, and on 7 May 1265 Simon de Montfort-Thomas de Cantelupe, the chancellor, being otherwise occupied - committed the great seal to Sandwich." 1 Early History of the Sandwick familyThis web page shows only a small excerpt of our Sandwick research.

Consequently, spelling variations in names are frequently found in early Anglo-Saxon and later Anglo-Norman documents. One person's name was often spelled several different ways over a lifetime. The recorded variations of Sandwick include Sandwich, Sanwick, Sanwich, Sanwiche, Sandwiche, Sandicke and many more.
