St Albans Cathedral History Activity Romans
About.
St Albans Cathedral’s History activity, Romans, for your students.
The story of St Albans starts with the Romans, and their Alban & the Romans Trail, Invaders & Settlers Trail and Roman Mosaic Workshop explores this period in more detail, from both a local history and national perspective.
Most schools combine two activities, usually a trail and a workshop, to make a whole day of their visit. Trails include drama and artefacts to help students develop their learning, whilst workshops allow them to create a piece of artwork to take home at the end of the visit.

Covering a range of curriculum areas, they offer activities for students of all Key Stages including teaching about Romans, Saxons, Medieval, Tudors, Victorians, RE and learning about the Christian Faith, as well as Maths and Science.
Using role play, artefacts, experiential learning and the building itself, students encounter the stories and history of St Albans Cathedral and learn in new and inspiring ways through a variety of trails and workshops. A fascinating and thought-provoking day in this magnificent setting can provide new skills, deeper understanding and a stimulus for further study.
