Shrine of St Alban

Stunningly beautiful cathedral / abbey. Tomb of St Alban here and beautiful stone rood screen behind the altar. The vaulted ceiling is ornately decorated (see picture). Costs £5,000 per day to keep the abbey open...so give generously when you visit

Very special place dedicated to a very special saint: Saint Alban, the first martyr of this land.

I go up the cathedral as much as possible. It's such a nice place just to sit and watch the world go by. There's so much inside it and wonderful architecture outside as well. It's an amazing building!

One of the first Churches in Britain
