The Bishop of StAlbans is the Ordinary of the Church of England Diocese of StAlbans in the Province of Canterbury.
The cathedral building itself was an abbey church (part of StAlbans Abbey) prior to the Dissolution of the Monasteries, then a parish church (purchased by the town in 1553) until its elevation to cathedral status in 1877.
The Bishop's residence is Abbey Gate House, Abbey Mill Lane, StAlbans, Hertfordshire.
StAlbans (thus spelt, no apostrophe or dot) is the main urban area of the City and District of StAlbans in southern Hertfordshire, England, around 22 miles (35.5km) north of central London.
StAlbans School, which occupies a site to the West of the Abbey and includes the former Norman Abbey Gateway, was founded in AD 948 and is the only school in the English-speaking world to have educated a Pope.
StAlbans is home to one of the country's oldest and finest indoor skateparks at the Pioneer Youth Club, in Heathlands Drive, next to the fire station.
