St Albans Cathedral & Abbey
St Albans Abbey is one of Britain's earliest Christian foundations and commemorates Britain's first Christian martyr, the Romano-British saint Alban, who was executed in about AD 300.

St Albans: Cathedral and Abbey, produced to celebrate the 60th anniversary of the Friends of St Alban's Abbey in 2009, tells the story of the Abbey from Alban to the present day.

Deeds of the Abbots of St Albans
The Deeds of the abbots of St Albans records the history of one of the most important abbeys in England, closely linked to the royal family and home to a school of distinguished chroniclers, including Matthew Paris and Thomas Walsingham.

The Pilgrims Rest
Fiona Fordham lives with her family at 'The Pilgrims Rest', a restaurant on the ground floor of a sixteenth century building in St Albans. Fiona develops a fascination for Alf, a strange recluse who lives on the top floor, an obsession which begins to affect her in ways she could never have imagined. She follows him on his trips down to the cellar in the middle of the night and across Holywell Hill to the Abbey despite harsh warnings from him to stay away. Is the ghostly apparition of a cavalier a warning of impending doom? Fiona's curiosity and naivety take her on a perilous journey down a rabbit hole to hell.
Mango and Mimosa
In 1921, in the wilds of the Malaysian jungle, a clutch of British children are being brought up by a Swiss nanny, with a monkey for a pet and deadly scorpions in the night nursery. From that eccentric childhood spent in Malaysia, the south of France, and only occasionally Britain, to her early years as a young news reporter in Algeria and Italy during Word War II, Suzanne St Albans has had an extraordinary life. Charming and utterly fascinating in its details of another time and another world, Mango & Mimosa is destined to become a classic.
