More about this scene
In 739, the Mercian king Offa founded a Benedictine house for men and women, which he endowed with huge tracts of Hertfordshire countryside together with their rents and tithes. The building of the present abbey began in 1077 when Paul de Caen, a Norman abbot, set about erecting the second longest church in Britain. Much of the original structure was built using rubble from the remains of the Roman town of Verulamium, which stood close to the present Verulamium Park.
