order in the See also:kingdom. The abbots, Ealdred and Ealmer, at the See also:close of the loth See also:century began to break up the ruins of the old Roman city of See also:Verulamium for materials to construct a new See also:abbey church; but its erection was delayed till the See also:- TIME (0.

abbot. The See also:cathedral at See also:Canterbury as built by Lanfranc was almost a See also:reproduction of St See also:Stephen's, Caen; but Paul, while adopting the same See also:model for St Albans, built it on a much larger See also:scale. The church was consecrated in 1115, but had been finished some years before. Of the See also:original See also:Norman church the See also:principal potions now remaining are the eastern bays of the See also:nave, the See also:tower and the transepts, but the See also:main outlines of the See also:building are still those planned by Paul. It is thus one of the most important specimens of Norman See also:architecture in See also:England, with the See also:special characteristic that, owing to the use of the See also:flat broad Roman See also:tile, the Norman portions are peculiarly See also:bare and stern. The western towers were pulled down in the 13th century. About I155 See also:Robert de Gorham repaired and beautified the See also:early See also:shrine and rebuilt the See also:chapter-house and See also:part of the See also:cloister; but nothing of his See also:work now remains except part of a very beautiful See also:doorway discovered in See also:recent times. About 1200 Abbot See also:John de See also:Cella pulled down the See also:west front and portions of the See also:north and See also:south aisles. He began the erection of the west front in a new and enriched See also:form, and his work was continued by his successor William de Trumpyngtone in a plainer manner. In 1257 the eastern portion was pulled down, and between the See also:middle of the 13th and the beginning of the 14th century a See also:sanctuary, ante-See also:chapel and See also:lady chapel were added, all remarkably See also:fine specimens of the architecture of the See also:period. In 1323 two See also:great columns on the south See also:side suddenly See also:fell, and this necessitated the rebuilding of five bays of the south See also:aisle and the Norman cloisters. Various incongruous additions were made during the Perpendicular period, and much damage was also done during the See also:dissolution of the abbeys to the finer work in the interior. Structural dangers gave rise to an extensive restoration and partial rebuilding, begun under the direction of See also:Sir See also:- GILBERT

The first permanent See also:settlement here was established in 1786; the township of St Albans (pop. in 1900, 1715) was incorporated in 1859, and the larger part of It was chartered as the city of St Albans in 1897. On the 19th of See also:October 1864 Lieut. See also:Bennett H. See also:Young led from See also:Canada about twenty-five un-uniformed Confederate soldiers in a See also:raid on St Albans. They looted three See also:banks, wounded several citizens, one mortally, and escaped to Canada, where Young and twelve others were arrested and brought to trial. But they were never punished, and even the $75,000 which had been taken from them on their See also:arrest was returned to them. Later, however, the See also:Canadian See also:government refunded this amount to the banks. In 1866 and again in 187o the See also:Fenians made St Albans a See also:base for attacks on Canada, and See also:United States troops were sent here to preserve See also:neutrality.
