		Much of the post-Roman development of St Albans was in memorial to Saint Alban, the earliest known British Christian martyr, executed in circa AD 250 (the exact date is a matter of some controversy, with scholars suggesting dates of 209, 254 and 304).
		Following the Reformation, the Abbey was dissolved in 1539 and the Abbey Church sold to the town in 1553 for £400: it became a protestant parish church for the borough and the Lady Chapel was used as a school.
