Sandringham
a Norfolk estate, 3 miles from the sea and 7½ miles N. N. E. of Lynn, England, comprising over 7,000 acres; was purchased in 1862 by the Prince of Wales, later Edward VII. The then existing mansion was demolished, and the present hall built in 1869-1871, a red-brick Elizabethan country house, standing in a pleasant park of 200 acres; special features are the iron "Norwich gates," the dairy, and the splendid cottages. A fire on Nov. 1, 1891, did damage to the amount of over $50,000. The Germans made an aerial attack on the place in 1915.
