Tabula
St Albans stands on rising ground in Hertfordshire, north of London. On a map, the medieval centre sits on the hilltop, where streets meet near the cathedral and the old market. Below it to the southwest, the River Ver runs through Verulamium Park. That green open space covers much of the site of the Roman town. Victorian and later suburbs spread outward in every direction.
The city takes its name from Alban, traditionally honoured as the first British Christian martyr. The cathedral on the hill has one of the longest naves in England. Verulamium was one of the major towns of Roman Britain. Parts of its wall, a theatre and mosaic floors survive near the park. The city's past is layered unusually clearly across its map.
A St Albans map poster shows those layers in one frame. The medieval core crowns the hill, the park and the Ver lie below, and the long straight roads show traces of the old Roman routes. Surrounding streets fill out the rest. It is a compact English city with more history per square kilometre than most.
The cathedral and abbey grounds occupy the crest of the hill. Their large precinct is surrounded by the narrow streets of the medieval town.
Below the city centre, the park stretches along the Ver, with a lake and open grass covering much of the site of the Roman town.
The old centre follows the shape of a medieval market town, with wide market streets, narrow side passages and the clock tower at its heart.
