The chapel's architecture and interior decoration are as historically evocative as its former congregants. Built in the Georgian Classic-Revival style using local stone, St. Paul's resembles a smaller version of St. Martin's-in-the-Field near London's Trafalgar Square--although St. Martin's appears pristinely white whereas St. Paul's is constructed of local mica-schist and brownstone.

THE ROMAN "CITY" OF ST ALBANS
Around twenty miles to the north of London is the delightful old town of St Albans, many years ago I had enjoyed a day out here, Mrs R in her seven years in England had never had the pleasure - but was not, for whatever reason over-excited at the prospect!
