Sandringham Church - The Interior

Yesterday I posted a photo of the outside of the church. Here are some that I took inside. The church is very small but quite ornate inside. According to Mr Google.......

The interior is a luxurious example of late Victorian style, with gilded woodwork and richly panelled walls. One of the highlights is a glittering silver altar and reredos given by Rodman Wannamaker, a wealthy American department store and newspaper owner, who had the pieces created as a memorial to Edward VII and gave them to Queen Alexandra after Edward's death in 1910.

Wannamaker also gave the striking wood and silver pulpit, and a 17th century processional cross. Over the royal pew stands a statue of St George slaying a dragon.

The entire chancel was presented to Queen Alexandra after her husband's death.
