St Albans Abbey, Hertfordshire
The massive (and rather disliked) west end of St Albans Abbey designed by Edmund Beckett, First Baron Grimthorpe. Potentially the site of the place of death of Britain's First Christian Martyr Saint Alban at c.250. The majority of the building is Norman, the distinctive brickwork tower re-using bricks from the remains of the Roman Town of Verulamium in the valley below
