St. Stephen's Church, St. Albans

The church structure combines flint walls with stone dressings and Roman brick materials, crowned by a traditional tile roof with a belfry.

The church traces its origins to 948 AD when Abbot Ulsinus of St Albans established it to serve pilgrims visiting St Albans Abbey.

The interior features Victorian pews, an octagonal 15th-century font, a 13th-century piscina, and a modern eagle lectern modeled after the Dunkeld design.

The church maintains its function as an active place of worship within the Diocese of St Albans, situated at the summit of St Stephen's Hill.

During the Norman period between 1101 and 1118, Richard de Albini expanded the original Anglo-Saxon structure, which measured 34 by 38 feet.
