The Stories and Secrets of Luton's Medieval Jewel

St Mary's Church Luton are pleased to be able to offer for the first time a downloadable pdf copy of the book by Katheryne Rogers published in 2000. There are no more hard copies left, so this is your only chance of being able to read such a fascinating book!

Here's what it says on the original back cover:

Medieval feasts...fire engines parked in the church...knights in shining brass and a rock concert amidst the tombstones... a vicar turned beggar, another who plotted to murder the Pope, and one who became an Archbishop, later to be poisoned by his wife.

St Mary's Parish Church of Luton is much more than a head-turning piece of architecture. The building points to the real treasure: a fascinating pageant of events and people that influenced Luton and in some cases, the country.

Through narrative, dramatisation, anecdotes and photographs, The Stories and Secrets of Luton's Medieval Jewel reveals what has really gone on behind those chequered walls for the last 800 years.
