Imagine you were a 22-year-old who helped to build St Albans’ abbey gateway in ~1365. You would’ve already survived the Black Death (twice) and seen the captured French King paraded through the town, with the Peasants’ Revolt still to come before you turned 40. #History
It’s the day of the Alban Pilgrimage Procession! It starts from St Peter’s Church at 11am, weaving through the city to the Cathedral. It’s the story of St Alban! Giant puppets! Community spirit! What better way to spend your Saturday? 😊🐭
The magistrate is delivering his verdict; I fear he may find st alban guilty as he tends to each year.
Thine be the glory,
Risen, conquering Son.
Endless is the victory,
Thou o'er death hast won.
A happy Easter to you all!
I’d have a glorious, large sycamore tree sculpture emblazoned with “if you strike me down, I shall become more powerful than you can possibly imagine”.

Wonderful to have some nice spring weather at last - but might be a little while yet before anyone can safely get to this bench in Verulamium Park!
Forget the Winter Olympics, the real sport is happening here in St Albans with the annual pancake race!! Good luck to the abbey team for their upcoming race. All in a good cause for @HomeStartHerts

St Albans cathedral wins bronze, as home to England’s third favourite stained glass window!! Well done to the Rose Window; a wonderful reflection of our glorious fenestration.
Wow. We can announce 3rd place in the hunt for the Nation's Favourite Stained Glass Window and it goes to a glorious explosion of colour created by Alan Younger ...

885 years ago, shocking news was spreading across England: the King had been captured here at Lincoln!!
Is it possible to summarise the dramatic history of those times using only nine Star Wars-style opening crawls?
Well, Twitter, let’s buckle in and find out…
