Next to the South Door you can see a list of Vicars in date order. Unlike many churches, at St Peter’s the right to appoint vicars has been vested in the Crown since the days of Queen Victoria. Looking back into the church you will see the Chancel screen to your right and in front of you the hexagonal pulpit, made by another Belgian craftsman.  To the right of the South door is a brass memorial to Roger Pemberton, his wife and six children. Pemberton died in 1627. He left money for the housing of six poor widows. This housing – called Almshouses – can be seen on the opposite side of St Peter’s Street, and is still used today. As you step into the porch on the floor is the tombstone of two of the children who died in 1666 and 1682 of the plague.  Leaving the church you make take a look at a number of interesting features including the grave of Nathaniel Cotton, an English physician who pioneered the care the mentally ill; the Anchorage where, since the early 13th century, anchoresses lived in permanently sealed cell: The Foundling Children (abandoned and deserted children babies who died in St Albans) buried in the lower churchyard; War of the Roses Burials; The Burma Star Rose Garden; Roger de Stoke’s Cross; and the Charnel Chapel.
