      ab: This article argues that there is no strong evidence for the continuity of the cult of St Alban at Verulamium from the fifth to the eighth century. The written evidence suggests rather that the martyr narrative and cult of Alban was created in Gaul and reimported to Britain through texts. The activity at late and post‐Roman Verulamium is contextualized by comparing it with archaeological evidence from contemporary British sites. The article explores how the contrasts and connections between Britain and the Continent determined the survival of devotion to Alban.
