Background

The village forms part of the civil parish of Sandringham, which is in turn part of the district of King's Lynn and West Norfolk.[1][2]
Wolferton is best known as the location of Wolferton railway station. The station was opened in 1862 after Queen Victoria had purchased the site of Sandringham House as a Norfolk retreat. The station contained a set of elegant reception rooms, where the several generations of the royal family and their visitors would wait for transportation to Sandringham House. The 13th-century St Peter's Church was damaged by fire in the fifteenth century, and restored in the 19th century by Arthur Blomfield. It retains its medieval parclose screens.
