"Oldest site of continuous Christian worship in UK. Stands over where Alban, the first UK martyr was buried after giving his life for his faith > 1700 years ago. Amazing mixture of architectural styles"

"The Roman Theatre of Verulamium is unique. Built in about 140AD it is the only example of its kind in Britain being a theatre with a stage. The Theatre could seat 2000 spectators. Unearthed in 1847"

"Roman St Albans was one of the largest towns in Roman Britain. Much of what remains now lies underneath Verulamium Park. There are parts which have been excavated the Hypocaust including mosaic & wall"

"Remains of the Tudor mansion built around 1560 by Sir Richard Lee a soldier and royal engineer. Lee's first house was built on top of the medieval nunnery which itself dated back to 1140."

"The site of the Eleanor cross which once stood in St Albans lies opposite Waxhouse Gate. In 1290 the funeral procession of Queen Eleanor wife of Edward I rested here on its slow journey to Westminster"
