Two roads diverged in a yellow wood,
And sorry I could not travel both
And be one traveler, long I stood
And looked down one as far as I could
To where it bent in the undergrowth

The Butterfly Meadow was a collaborative art installation in the grounds of Sandringham. The installation was inspired by the 2014 ceramic poppy display at the Tower of London.
The Sandringham meadow displayed 2,500 butterflies to coincide with the late Queen Elizabeth’s Platinum Jubilee celebrations.
The blue butterflies represented the silver-studded blue butterfly which is commonly seen in Norfolk.

Situated outside the Church of St Mary Magdalene, Sandringham is an interesting ancient Greek marble font.
This was brought from the Island of Rhodes in 1886 by the Duke of Edinburgh for his brother, the Prince of Wales, and is very probably of the ninth century. There is a Greek inscription around the upper rim which, translated, reads: ‘In the treasureship of Cyriacus, a deacon and Calvinus (the) humble this work was executed; and may the Lord preserve those that erect it. Amen‘*
