context_page_description: St Albans Cathedral is an Anglican church in St Albans, Hertfordshire. At 84 metres, its nave is the longest of any cathedral in England. With much of its present architecture dating from Norman times, it became a cathedral in 1877. Local residents often call it "the Abbey", although the present cathedral represents only the church of the old Benedictine abbey.
  The church, although legally a cathedral, differs in certain ways from most of the other cathedrals in England. It is also used as a parish church, of which the Dean is rector. He has the same powers, responsibilities, and duties as the rector of any other parish.
