St Albans boasts a rich and captivating history that spans from its pre-Roman settlement as Verlamion to its Roman municipium of Verulamium, the Benedictine monastery dedicated to Alban, the revered first British Christian martyr, to its charter borough and market established by Edward VI in 1553 and its official designation as a city by royal edict in 1877. The town's strategic location along the ancient Watling Street, connecting London with the Midlands and the North West, has played a pivotal role in its significance throughout these eras. In her book, local author Kate Morris delves into the social life of the charter borough and market during the Early Modern period, when St Albans gained popularity among City merchants and professional folk, often serving as their "second home." Morris unveils lesser-known events and characters from this era, offering a unique perspective on the town's history. While some of the tales and happenings revealed may be familiar to those in other English towns, their presentation within the context of St Albans and its history will captivate all enthusiasts of the city and its rich heritage. The book's period illustrations and modern photography further enhance the reader's experience, adding visual richness to the narrative.
