The ParishThe parish of Sandringham lies close to Norfolk's western Wash coast about 7 miles north of the port of King's Lynn. Sabdringham sits about a mile east of the A149 road which hugs Norfolk's coast all the way from King's Lynn around to Cromer. Sandringham is an estate parish, the original village long since removed to make way for the parkland and pleasure grounds of the estate. A few cottages and farms dot the landscape heavily gentrified to match the bucolic grounds of the estate. Sandringham in inextricably linked today with the Royal Family and is an official royal residence, their acquisition of the estate from Charles Cowper, however, post dates this transcript being purchased in 1862. The economy of the parish and that of the estate were totally linked with most employments working on farming and farming related trades for the benefit of the estate. Drainage through the parish has been heavily modified to provide water-features but generally makes its way south to meet the Babingley River where it turns west to reach the nearby Wash. Sandringham is sited at around 40 metres above the sea in gently rising land where heights of over 80 metres are reached before Anmer. Sandringham parish was one of Norfolk's smaller, covering just over 1,100 acres it would have supported barely 100 parishioners. In Domesday time Sandringham was a tiny place not even meriting a single plough and held for its meadow by Corbucion's son Robert. |
