Great city with plenty to do in the town or just outside. Plenty of shops and restaurants. Car parks around the main town. Visitor attractions such as the cathedral, roman remains etc. Well worth a visit

The Wallingford Screen is a "must-see" site in St Albans Cathedral. William of Wallingford was the 47th Abbot of St Albans and he had the medieval High Altar and Reredos built. The statues on the screen were destroyed during the Dissolution of the Monasteries under King Henry VIII but they were replaced in Victorian times. The statues on the top layer are St Edmund, King Offa, St Edward the Confessor, St Hugh, Pope Adrian IV and the Venerable Bede. On the second row they are St Cuthbert, St Helen, St Benedict, the Virgin Mary, St John, St Patrick, St Ethelreda and St Germanus. The third row are St Augustine, St Alban, St Amphibalus at St Erkenwald. The little statues above the Altar are Peter, Andrew, James, John, Philip, James, Jesus, Thomas, Bartholomew, Matthew, Simon, Matthias and Jude.

St Albans Cathedral is the oldest site of continuous Christian worship in Britain. It stands over the place where Alban, the first martyr, was buried after giving his life for his faith over 1700 years ago.The building itself is a blend of architectural styles spanning a millennia and contains recycled Roman bricks from Verulamium. Of special interest are the 13th century wall paintings, a rare watching loft and the shrines of Saint Alban and Amphibalus, the priest who converted Alban to Christianity.

Another addition to my visits to Pre 1500 Cathedrals.. This one is more Norman than Gothic... Great history here... The volunteer guides are so helpful, knowledgeable and very friendly... Make sure you go on a guided tour.. at the time of my visit they were displaying the "Black Jesus" Last Supper painting... As for parking.. I suggest going to the Maltings Car park.. just a 5 to 10 min walk (depending on how quick you walk) to the Cathedral.

We visited this wonderful Church with its very early architecture and fascinating history. The history of the Church was well documented and it was hard to believe that so much could have happened in its long history. Well worth a visit!

The church is in Royston town centre and is just on the edge of the Priory Town Gardens. Even though the pandemic has prevented many places from opening the church is undergoing restoration at the moment and hopefully it will be restored to its former glory.

The St Mary Virgin Parish Church is located just on the edge of Ware town centre. It is set just away from the road which is good as it's a bit quieter so creates a very peaceful atmosphere. There are a few paths going through the churchyard which means there are a few people about but it is not too busy. A very tranquil place to encourage reflection.
