1. Title: St Albans Abbey - Lantern Slide - West Front: A Controversial Renovation St Albans Abbey, located in Hertfordshire, England, is a magnificent architectural masterpiece steeped in history and religious significance. This lantern slide image showcases the west front of the abbey, revealing a fascinating yet controversial chapter in its long and storied past. The photograph, taken in the 1870s, highlights the West Front of St Albans Abbey, which was remodelled during that era by Edmund Beckett, 1st Baron Grimthorpe. The image reveals the lost Wheathampstead window, which was a significant feature of the abbey's original west front. However, the remodelling of the west front, which was controversial at the time, resulted in a new design that was distinctly out of character with the rest of this ancient edifice.

The lush grass and railings surrounding the abbey add to the serene and peaceful atmosphere. This photograph is part of the Box 3 Boswell Collection Series of Ancient Britain, providing a glimpse into the rich history and architectural beauty of St Albans Abbey and ancient Britain as a whole. Despite the controversy surrounding the remodelling of the west front, St Albans Abbey remains a beloved and cherished landmark, attracting visitors from around the world who are drawn to its historical significance, architectural beauty, and spiritual significance.
