St Mary Magdalene's is a spectacular royal church which draws a constant stream of tourists to marvel at its opulent interior. The church is surprisingly small but this creates a personal feel. Substantial restorations in the 19th century saw the addition of the transepts and vestry, and left little of the original 15th century building undisturbed apart from the porch. A feast for the eyes awaits the visitor. Colours of the Norfolk Regiment hang in the base of the tower. A silver panelled pulpit shines brightly, a gift to Queen Alexandra in 1924. The silver altar was a gift to Edward VII in 1911 and a matching reredos was constructed to accompany it. Gilded wood adorns the chancel and angels surround the east window. Other particularly interesting items include a 16th Century Spanish processional cross and a statuette of St George complete with ivory face and hands and aluminium armour.
