St Albans History

St Albans has a long rich history of settlement. Celtic tribes had a settlement at Prae Hill to the west of St Albans. The Roman city of Verulamium was the second largest town in Roman Britain after Londinium, and was built alongside the River Ver which is a little nearer to the St Albans city centre.

After the Romans left, and prior to becoming known as St Albans, the town was called Verlamchester by the Mercian Angles.

The medieval town became established around the Benedictine foundation of St Albans Abbey. This is the spot where St Alban, the first British Christian martyr, was beheaded some time before the year 324. It was at one time the principal abbey in England and the first draft of Magna Carta was drawn up at St Albans. The Abbey Church, now St Albans Cathedral became the parish church when it was bought by the local people in 1553, soon after the priory was dissolved in 1539. It was made a cathedral in 1877 when the City Charter was granted. There is evidence that the original site was somewhat higher up the hill than the present building and there had certainly been successive abbeys before the current building was started in 1077.
