Park House, Sandringham

Sandringham, United Kingdom

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 mid-20th century, the house was let, and in the 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. In the later 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.
