	Shrines of Britain: St. Amphibalus at St. Albans Abbey
		Amphibalus' relics, or certain relics which were held to be his, were discovered at Redbourne, near St. Albans, in the days of Abbot Simon (1166-1183) and were brought in solemn procession to the church of the monastery.
		In the original Norman Abbey of St. Albans, which largely still stands today, the shrine of St. Amphibalus stood before the Great Rood Screen, near the high altar, on the north side of the shrine of St. Alban.
		A timber beam broke the marble shafts supporting his shrine canopy and the feretory, which miraculously survived, was removed to the north aisle of the presbytery.

	St. Alban
		A later development in the legend informs us that the cleric's name was Amphibalus, and that he, with some companions, was stoned to death a few days afterwards at Redbourn, four miles from St. Albans.
		It is also probable that the name Amphibalus is derived from some version of the legend in which the cleric's cloak is called an amphibalus; for Geoffrey of Monmouth, the earliest witness to the name Amphibalus, makes precisely the same mistake in another passage, converting the garment called amphibalus into the name of a saint.
		That of St. Amphibalus is not now observed, but it seems formerly to have been attached to 25 June.

		In this Isle, Amphibalus sate first Bishop, a Briton born, and a man of excellent piety.
		And it is almost impossible the Manks nation should preserve no memory of so considerable a blessing as their first conversion to Christianity; but their tradition is directly against it.
		Besides, Matthew Paris affirms the body of Amphibalus was found at Radburn, near St. Albans, in the year 1178; and many other marks of his martyrdom at Radburn strongly conclude he died for his religion in England, and never fled to the Isle of Man to erect a bishopric and Fanum Sodorense.
