Cross of St Alban Pendant by Harriet Kelsall
My design is based on the distinctively shaped 3rd Century Cross of St Alban
This distinctive cross was brought to St Albans in England by Amphibalus, a fugitive Christian priest. Alban, a prominent citizen, sheltered the priest, who gave him the cross. The two exchanged clothes as disguise but both men were eventually caught by the Roman soldiers and Alban was executed on the site of the present Abbey church of St Albans in England, where his cross may be seen in sculpture, stained glass, needlework and silver.
Each cross is supplied on a 16 inch chain and is handmade in solid Sterling silver or 9ct gold, hallmarked in London. We can dispatch them to anywhere in the world and they make ideal Christening or Confirmation gifts.
