Wood Farm

Wood Farm

Set in a secluded corner of the Sandringham Estate, Norfolk, England is Wood Farm, a modest cottage. Sir Henry Rider Haggard was born on 22 June 1856, at Wood Farm on Bradenham Hall estate, as the Sandringham Estate was known then. The Prince John resided at Wood Farm from 1917 until his death there in 1919. The Duke of Edinburgh occasionally stays there during shooting weekends and shooting parties on the estate. The younger royals have several times held private parties at Wood Farm. Divorced spouses of royals are often put up at Wood Farm during holiday periods so they can be close to royal children without officially being at the Queen’s holiday celebrations at Sandringham House.
