Sandringham
|
|
(13km/8m NE of King's Lynn) The most informal of the queen's residences in England, being essentially a large country estate. It was bought for the prince of Wales, the future Edward VII, in 1861. In 1870 he replaced an existing building with the present Sandringham House, designed in a neo-Jacobean style by A.J. Humbert (1822–77).
