The current church dates mostly from the Norman period and was built with recycled brick and flint from Roman Verulamium. It was extended in the 12^th and 13^th centuries in stone, and has one of the longest naves in the country. Inside there is an unparalleled series of wall paintings, dating from the late 12^th to the 16^th century. The early 14^th century shrine is overlooked by a very rare early 15^th century watching loft. A modern building on the site of the medieval Chapter House contains a Café and gift shop. Admission is free, donation requested.
