St Mary Magdalene Church Sandringham

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:

Cromer During Second World War

I visited Cromer last week and found the information boards around the town very interesting.  There was a board on Cromer during the Second World War and I didn’t realise that it was bombed five times.  Bearing in mind that there were no military targets in or around Cromer that I am aware of, I assume that this was targeting the population of Cromer with the view of affecting morale.  Anyway here are some photos of the results of the bombings:
