The Abbey Gateway at St Albans was built in 1365 and is the last remaining building (except for the Abbey itself) of the Benedictine Monastery of St Alban. It was besieged during the Peasants' Revolt in 1381, and was used as a prison following the dissolution of the Abbey in 1539. King Henry VI had his wounds dressed here after his capture in the First Battle of St Albans in 1455. It housed the third printing press in England, from 1479
