St Alban's Church, Holborn
Image: © Roger D Kidd Taken: 18 Feb 2008
The fortieth Anniversary of the consecration of this church was in 2001 and that may seem a little odd. But the great church of S. Alban the Martyr, Holborn in the heart of London, built by a leading architect of the day, William Butterfield in 1863, was destined to last for only 78 years and on the night of 16th April 1941 was largely destroyed by firebombs. See Harold Holwell's History of the church here http://www.stalbans-holborn.com/History%20Overview.htm .
