The Cathedral and Abbey Church of St Albans is one of the oldest churches in Britain — and quite possibly the very oldest — but no building survives through hundreds of generations without change. John Goodall examines some of the recent  — and highly colourful — changes made to highlight the saints associated with this ancient church. Photographs by Paul Highnam and John Goodall for Country Life.
