St Albans

St Albans

St Albans is a town with a great deal of history. During Roman times it was called Verulamium, when it was the second largest town in Roman Britain.

There have been two battles of the Wars of the Roses in and around St Albans, one that took place in 1455 and another in 1461. The town has an abbey with an early 15th century Clock Tower and Kingsbury Watermill is a museum with a waffle house attached.

Situated just outside St Albans are the remains of Old Gorhambury House, a once immense mansion constructed in 1563-8 by the Lord Keeper of the Great Seal, Sir Nicholas Bacon.
