I visited the above and also toured Sandringham House the other day. I have lived in Norfolk for over forty years, although still regarded a foreigner by my wife and thought it about time I toured Sandringham House and St Mary Magdalene Church. It was a lovely day and the tours were interesting, Sandringham House had lots of expensive crockery and tapestries that has been acquired by Alexandra, Edward VII's wife when they set up home there in the mid 19th century. You can even see a jig saw that Queen Camilla has started and presumably will finish at Christmas! Unfortunately you weren’t allowed to take any photos in the house but I am able to share some photos of the church with you. There are lots of commemorations to the monarchs since Queen Victoria in the church but the only royal buried there is Prince John the son of George V and Queen Mary who died of epilepsy at a young age. Anyway here are some of my pictures of the church and a link if you would like to read some more:
