	St Albans at AllExperts
		This at the spot where tradition has it that St Alban, the first British Christian martyr, was beheaded sometime before AD It was, at one time, the principal abbey in England and the first draft of Magna Carta was drawn up there, reflecting its political importance.
		St Albans School, which occupies a site to the West of the Abbey and includes the former Norman Abbey Gateway, was founded in AD 948 and is the only school in the English-speaking world to have educated a Pope.
		The growth of St Albans was generally slow before the 20th century, reflecting its status as a rural market town, a pilgrimage site, and the first overnight coaching stop of the route to and from London - a fact which also accounts for its many inns, many dating from Tudor times.

	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.
		The feretory of St. Alban was carried to meet these relics, as far as the place where the church of St. Mary des Prez was afterwards built.
		It is in a far more fragmentary and imperfect condition than the base of St. Alban's Shrine and, like that, had been deliberately broken into pieces, upon the Dissolution of the Monasteries, and used to block the eastern arches of the 'Saint's Chapel'.

	Hertfordshire (United Kingdom)
		Here is a photograph of St Albans Cathedral on this local photographer's web site: http://relay.arglist.com/photos/20050123-002.jpg, (very large file), photograph taken 23 January 2005, showing the flag flown at the Cathedral to be tapered at the fly, with the saltire occupying the first part of the flag only.
		St Albans Cathedral was also photographed flying the St George's Cross by the same photographer on Monday, 17 April 2006 and Sunday, 24 April 2005, so it is clear that they do not always fly the same flag.
		They are often just a bicolour of the Cathedral or Diocesan arms, but in St Alban's case the saltire is a simple charge and so they chose to use a pennant that is a simplified version of their flag.

	St Albans Cathedral Organ - Invision Power Board
		It was in St. Albans Abbey that Sam Clutton bumped into Ralph Downes and said to him "Are you up to your baroque tricks again?" which led Ralph Downes to call his book on his work with organ builders "Baroque Tricks" and a very interesting read it makes too.
		My memories of the St Albans organ are restricted to a week I spent in the Cathedral there 20 years ago when my school choir took part in a performance and live recording for Deutsche Grammophon of Berlioz's Te Deum with Claudio Abbado conducting the European Community Youth Orchestra.
		St Albans has never been a wealthy Cathedral so some of the work done in 1962 was done to a very tight budget (for example the casework was altered in a very inexpensive way - and certainly looks like it).

	Talk:St Albans Cathedral - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		I would agree if the cathedral were primarily known by its association with Saint Alban rather than with the city of St Albans in the mind of most people, and the city name unambiguously has "no apostrophe or dot" to quote St Albans.
		I think St Paul's Cathedral has the strongest argument to be London Cathedral though, as it is the cathedral of the Diocese of London (see [1]) - the cathedral's Bishop is titled the Bishop of London.
		Westminster Cathedral is the cathedral of the Diocese of Westminster, and Southwark Cathedral represents the Diocese of Southwark.
