Park House, Sandringham

Rare card · No. 73706

Park House stands on the Sandringham estate in North Norfolk, England. It was built by Edward, Prince of Wales (later Edward VII) as a home for General Sir William Knollys, who had been appointed comptroller of the prince's household in 1862. In the 20th century, the house was let, and in the 1950s or 1960s was rented by John Spencer, Viscount Althorp (later 8th Earl Spencer). On 1 July 1961, his fourth child, Diana Frances Spencer (later the Princess of Wales), was born at Park House. Later in the 20th century, the building was run as a hotel managed by the Leonard Cheshire charity. Following the 2020 COVID-19 pandemic the charity decided to exit the lease. As of 2025, the house is vacant.
