St Mary Magdalene Church, Sandringham

[2][3] The Grade II* listed[4] The church is dedicated to Mary Magdalene[5] and is described as a small building in the perpendicular style, "nobly lying on raised ground".[10][11] The church's silver altar and reredos, made by the silversmiths Barkentin & Krall, were presented to Queen Alexandra by the American department store owner Rodman Wanamaker as a tribute to Edward VII.After the death of George V in January 1936, the King's coffin lay in state overnight in the church with an honour guard of estate workers.On the following morning, 23 January, the coffin was taken in a 2½ mile (4 kilometre) procession from the church to Wolferton railway station, with Edward VIII and his brothers walking behind and the rest of the royal family in carriages.[13] After George VI's death in February 1952, the body of the King was placed in the church for two days prior to lying in state at Westminster Hall.
