The nave of St Albans Cathedral
The Abbey Church was promoted to be a Cathedral in 1877. It once belonged to England’s premier abbey before the Dissolution of the Monasteries and in 1154 the Abbot was made the Premier Abbot of England. The cathedral was built like the vanished monastery from the flint and red tiles of ruined Roman Verulamium. The tower dates from 1077, soon after the Norman Conquest. Building of the nave began in 1077. It is said to be the longest nave in Europe.
