St Stephens Church St. Stephen’s is a historic pilgrim church, situated on the Roman
road of Watling Street on the southern edge of St. Albans. Part of the
Saxon structure still stands, although the original building has been
greatly altered and extended. The church includes a 13th century chapel,
thought to be a Leper Chapel, a Tudor roof and some fine 19th century
stained-glass. St Stephen’s also contains the oldest Font in the city
and the churchyard includes part of the Roman cemetery. Amongst the many
interesting graves can be found that of Tessa Wheeler who did much of
the work to excavate Roman Verulamium. Cream Teas will be served whilst
the church is open from 1430 to 1700. St Albans Beer Festival St Albans is the home of CAMRA - The Campaign for Real Ale - which
