Solid silver on the pulpit of St. Mary Magdalene church

Solid silver on the pulpit of St. Mary Magdalene church
The chancel
The Grade II* listed church is dedicated to Mary Magdalene and is described as a small building in the Perpendicular style, "nobly lying on raised ground". The current building dates to the 16th century and was restored by S. S. Teulon in 1855 and Arthur Blomfield in 1890. It is considered to be a noteworthy example of a carrstone building. It is located in the park and is approached from Sandringham House through the garden by "an avenue of fine old Scotch firs".

Much of the decoration and the church's stained glass in the east window was created by Charles Eamer Kempe whom King Edward VII had also commissioned in 1903 to create a stained glass window for Buckingham Palace of his eldest son, Prince Albert, Duke of Clarence. The church's silver altar and reredos, created by the silversmiths Barkentin & Krall, were presented to Queen Alexandra by the American department store owner Rodman Wanamaker as a tribute to Edward VII. He also presented her with the silver pulpit and a silver 17th-century Spanish processional cross. Of note also is a Florentine marble font and a Greek font dating to the 9th-century.

Amazing detail Steve, somehow I was able to enlarge the shot enormously. It is a wonder that no one has tried to remove such treasure. The stained glass window is also very good.

Hello Nick yes there is certainly some very interesting solid siver items within the church used by the royals when at Sandringham .. i imagine there must be some security in place here to deter the light fingered ..

Best wishes and stay safe.
