The See also:cathedral at See also:Canterbury as built by Lanfranc was almost a See also:reproduction of St See also:Stephen's, Caen; but Paul, while adopting the same See also:model for St Albans, built it on a much larger See also:scale
.
The church was consecrated in 1115, but had been finished some years before
.
Of the See also:original See also:Norman church the See also:principal potions now remaining are the eastern bays of the See also:nave, the See also:tower and the transepts, but the See also:main outlines of the See also:building are still those planned by Paul

It is thus one of the most important specimens of Norman See also:architecture in See also:England, with the See also:special characteristic that, owing to the use of the See also:flat broad Roman See also:tile, the Norman portions are peculiarly See also:bare and stern

In 1257 the eastern portion was pulled down, and between the See also:middle of the 13th and the beginning of the 14th century a See also:sanctuary, ante-See also:chapel and See also:lady chapel were added, all remarkably See also:fine specimens of the architecture of the See also:period
.
In 1323 two See also:great columns on the south See also:side suddenly See also:fell, and this necessitated the rebuilding of five bays of the south See also:aisle and the Norman cloisters
.
Various incongruous additions were made during the Perpendicular period, and much damage was also done during the See also:dissolution of the abbeys to the finer work in the interior

Structural dangers gave rise to an extensive restoration and partial rebuilding, begun under the direction of See also:Sir See also:- GILBERT

But they were never punished, and even the $75,000 which had been taken from them on their See also:arrest was returned to them
.
Later, however, the See also:Canadian See also:government refunded this amount to the banks

In 1866 and again in 187o the See also:Fenians made St Albans a See also:base for attacks on Canada, and See also:United States troops were sent here to preserve See also:neutrality
