Every Christmas I see pictures of Britain’s Royal Family walking from Sandringham House to the local parish church, St. Mary Magdalene. They’re always beautifully turned out, of course, and there’s always at least one pretty child ready to present a bouquet to the Queen. Now I’ve seen the inside of the church, and it’s one of the most beautiful rural churches I’ve ever seen.
The altar and ceiling are wonderfully carved and painted. The atmosphere is full of light and joy.
A beautifully carved angel administers Communion in the choir. There are no royal tombs here, just exquisite memorials to various Royal Family members.
The two angels above lovingly hold a silhouette of Queen Victoria, who had the foresight to buy Sandringham House as a privately owned family retreat.
This post is an experiment–I’m trying to post from my phone. If it works, it will be a whole lot easier to post while traveling!
Beautiful page ! One of the nicest I have seen !
Thank you so much! Sandringham is really a beautiful and entertaining place to visit and the staff is very friendly and talkative. I loved it!
