Légende

St. Albans Abbey: the Choir and High Altar, 1856. 'During its whole history as an abbey church, it was from time to time enriched by accessories, such as monuments, screens, &c., &c., so that, even in its present condition, it is a perfect study of the architecture of the Middle Ages, possessing specimens of the most remarkable kind of every period of English ecclesiastical architecture...Any attempt to "smarten up" the old pile is earnestly disclaimed. Repair what is venerable, "restore where beauty of form is needed," says Mr. Scott. And the heartiness with which the country is responding to the St. Albans appeal is most gratifying. Several thousand pounds have already been raised...'. From "Illustrated London News", 1856.
