St Michael's Manor Hotel, Fishpool Street, St Albans
Grade II* Listed former 17th century Manor House with considerable alterations in the 18th and 19th centuries. An Elizabethan plaster ceiling inscribed IG 1586 suggest the incorporation of an earlier building. In Edith's Streets blog it is claimed the original house here was built in 1585 by John Gape a tanner on medieval foundations which can be traced back to the 11th century. However A History of the County of Hertford: Volume 2. Originally published in 1908 Informs us John Gape who was mayor of St. Albans in 1564, 1572 and 1579 may have built it in 1568 that is carved on some of the oak ceilings of the house. (1568 is possibly a unintended transposition of 1586). This house probably built about 1668 was occupied by the Gape family descendants up until it was purchased by the current owners. It was converted into a hotel in the early 1960s by the Newling Ward family.

Flush Bracket 1276, Verulam Road
A flush bracket is a special type of bench mark installed by the Ordnance Survey. This one, number 1276, was originally fixed into the wall of a building in about 1914 as part of a levelling line from Hemel Hempstead to Buntingford. At some stage, presumably during building alterations, it has been relocated into a new wall and hence probably slightly moved from its original position.
