The Abbey Gateway, as the plaque will tell you, was built in 1365 and is the last remaining building (except for the Abbey itself) of the original Benedictine Monastery. It was besieged during the Peasants' Revolt in 1381, and was used as a prison following the dissolution of the Abbey in 1539. Since 1871 it has formed part of St Albans School, whose most recent famed alumni include the late Stephen Hawking.

A great piece of history and architecture that splendidly complements the cathedral just a few steps from it. It's a good thing that the townsfolk have used it for modern purposes, giving it its due attention in the process.
