A look at St Albans Market, and the cathedral city’s medieval clock tower.
The market was first held c.806, to generate income for the nearby Abbey. Held on a Wednesday and a Saturday, it is just as popular over a thousand years later!
The Clock Tower was built c.1405, and is the only remaining medieval town belfry in England. It is currently open to visit on weekends and bank holidays between Good Friday and the end of September. There are 93 steps to climb to reach the top, where there are great views of St Albans, its cathedral, and the surrounding Hertfordshire countryside!
