Background
History
It is, based upon the writing of Matthew Paris, believed to have been founded in AD 948 by Abbot Ulsinus of St Albans. The Anglo-Saxon building was built to be 34 ft wide by 38 ft long, and was probably divided into two rooms. The parish and benefice of St Alban St Stephen are within the Diocese of St Albans.
Architecture
The flint has dressing of stone and Roman brick with a tile roof. The pews and ornamental woodwork are Victorian, and the present pulpit and canopy date from 1936. The eagle lectern is a copy of a much earlier famous Dunkeld Lectern, which it replaced. The octagonal font is from the late 15th century. There is a 13th-century double piscina.
