ST. ALBANS CATHEDRAL COMMEMORATES ROMAN LEGIONARY  

TWENTY miles from London, on the River Ver, is St. Albans, whose  

history stretches back almost two thousand years to the first century b.c..  

when, during the period of Roman occupation of Britain, the town was  

known as Verulamium. It was here that the Roman soldier Albnnus was  

beheaded for having embraced the Christian faith and for having sheltered  

Christian priest. He was the first. Christian to suffer martyrdom in England,  

and upon the site of his execution, on Holmhurst Hill, above the River /er,  

shrine was erected.  

Following the departure of the Romans from Britain Verulamium sank  

into decay, and all signs of the martyr’s grave disappeared. Three centuries  

later, however, the Saxon King Offa, tormented by the memory of many  

crimes, declared that, in expiation, he would search for the martyrs bones  

and build an Abbey over them. While searching the summit ot Holmhurst  

Hill with band of chiefs, so tradition asserts, flash of lightning struck  

the ground at their feet, and excavation at this point revealed the bonw «f  

Saint Alban. Fulfilling his promise, Offa built church and founded  

Benedictine Abbey in the year 793, which soonamassedgreat wealth, and  

was destined to become the most magnificent Abbey, with ex ce^ lo °;  

Westminster, in the kingdom. The Saxon church was replaced .later by  

Norman Abbey, and around this ecclesiastical centre grew the tow  

of St. Albans, to which succeeding centuries have made their own characteristic  

architectural additions. ... its  

Besides examples of all periods of architecture, the Ab ey ■  

structure bricks and tiles taken from the rums of urc can  

Verulamium, and in its North Transept traces of the Saxon churchy  

still be seen St. Alban’s Cathedral and Abbey Church is aso remarKao  

for its massive Norman tower and for its possession of the longest Got  

nave in existence.
