Overview
- St Mary Magdalene Church on the Sandringham Estate has completed a modest refurbishment ahead of the royal Christmas service.
- A noisy floorboard that congregants said disrupted services has been repaired to restore a quieter setting for worship.
- Works also included a £4,000 replacement of the threadbare red carpet in the pews, cleaning of mosaic flooring, a new tower clock, and a refit of the parish room.
- Reports state the total cost is £6,765 and that the Parochial Church Council is responsible for the bill.
- Coverage reiterates that Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor did not attend the 2024 service and reports suggest he is unlikely to attend this year, which remains unconfirmed.
