Sandringham Time
Sandringham time is the name given to the idiosyncratic alterations that King Edward VII made to the timekeeping at the royal estate of Sandringham. In order to create more time for hunting in the winter, the King ordered that all the clocks on the estate be set half an hour ahead of Greenwich Mean Time. The custom of Sandringham time continued after the death of Edward, through the reign of his son George V. However, due to the confusions that the time difference caused, which were heightened during George's final hours, Edward VIII abolished the tradition during his brief reign.
