Sandale was a canon of Lincoln and St. Paul's and provost of Wells before being appointed Chancellor of the Exchequer in 1307 on the accession of Edward II. He was dismissed the following year for political reasons.
Sandale served as Warden of the Mint from 1298 to 1305,[2] as Lord High Treasurer from 1310 to 1311 and as acting treasurer from 1312 to 1314.[3] He later became Lord Chancellor on 26 September 1314, holding the office until 11 June 1318.[4]
