Seven statues have been installed to complete work that started more than 665 years ago as part of a cathedral's 900th anniversary celebrations.
The sculptures of the martyrs stand in the medieval nave screen in St Albans Cathedral, which is thought to have been put up "quickly" in 1350.
It is believed to be the first time painted statues have been restored to a such a screen since the Reformation.
The new statues were gifted to the cathedral by a former High Sheriff of Hertfordshire Richard Waldock, OBE, and lay canon Susan Walduck.
Four are martyrs with local connections - St Alban, Amphibalus, the priest he sheltered, Catholic priest Alban Roe, who was imprisoned in the Abbey Gatehouse, and Protestant George Tankerfield, who was burned at the stake near the cathedral.
Three lived in the 20th Century and represent the cathedral's ecumenical congregations - Russian Orthodox St Elisabeth Romanova, German Lutheran Dietrich Bonhoeffer and Roman Catholic Archbishop Oscar Romero.
