About This Image

St Albans Abbey – Historic Cathedral Metal Print by Mark Tisdale.

The subject of this historic cathedral metal print is informally known as St Albans Abbey or simply “The Abbey.” Officially it is The Cathedral & Abbey Church of St Alban which won’t win any points for brevity but is more correct. “The Abbey” has not been an abbey since the 16th century and has been a cathedral in the Church of England since the 19th century. But old habits die hard apparently!

St Albans Abbey and the city itself get their name from St Alban, the first British Christian martyr who lived and died in Roman Britain. Parts of the church date to Norman times – look at the older tower on the right edge of the artwork. But the more elaborate Gothic architecture is from an ambitious if inauthentic restoration in Victorian times.

Although it may not be how the church looked originally, you have to admit in the warm light of the late summer sun as seen in this print it has a stirring presence with all those Gothic lines reaching towards the heavens.

How Can I Help?

At the end of the day, it’s important to me that you can put a face with the art you’re considering purchasing through my site. Aside from the print vendor who ultimately prints and ships your order, this is a one man show. The person who made the art is the same one who is typing this message and the one who will answer your questions if you drop me a note.

You are not a number and I care that you are happy with whatever art you might buy here. I’m here if you’d like to ask questions before or after purchasing. And I’m also happy to work with you where possible to customize the work you’re buying. Maybe you’d like a tweak to the shape of a print to fit in with your existing wall art. Or you’d like to add a little nod to someone special in it? Just ask! I also keep a running list of subjects I don’t currently have but people are seeking. So if you enjoy the style of my work but didn’t find quite what you were looking for, please do let me know.

I’ve been an artist for 15 years now and most of that time it’s been my full-time passion. And it matters to both the endorphins in my brain and the food I put on the table for me (and my cats) that you find the experience of purchasing the products offered here to be a pleasure.
