GEDLING PARISH #8: ST ALBANS • St Albans – “Place of the Duke” • Hello again Gedling, here we go with part two of the Bestwood St Albans mini series – and if you’re local to this part of Nottinghamshire, you may have already seen my Bestwood Village video. If you did, you probably noticed that there was little to no mention of the St Albans connection in that episode. That was by design – because this episode will plug those gaps. By extension you’ll find a lot of what I was talking about in that video will make a lot more sense! • There is no village of St Albans here. The main settlement is actually called Warren Hill. This place has nothing to do with the religious St Alban either. He was the first-recorded British Christian martyr, beheaded at the Roman town of Verulamium – which we now know as the city of St Albans in Hertfordshire. Instead, this is everything to do with royalty. More specifically, we’re talking about the illegitimate son of Charles II and his mistress Nell Gwyn who would eventually become the 1st Duke of St Albans. • It was under him and the succession of Dukes that followed where Bestwood Park, Bestwood Village and Bestwood Colliery would acquire most of their recorded history. In essence then, this is a parish founded not on its historic physical features – but more on its governance. • And its a fun one too this.
