[3] St. Alban's Church was one of the first to be designed by the noted architect Nugent Francis Cachemaille-Day[4] and built by the Southampton builders GE Prince & Sons.

A "big cruciform church with (a) low, broad central tower,"[4] it is on the Latin Cross plan and is late Gothic in style.

[4] The east end of the church which would normally have formed the chancel was used as a Lady chapel, while the main altar is sited under the central tower much closer to the congregation - now a common arrangement but present at St. Alban's from the first.

Space for a choir, which in churches at this time was generally seated between the congregation and the altar, was to be provided in a western gallery which was never completed due to a lack of funding.

The main figures in the window represent Christ flanked on the left by Virgin Mary and St. Boniface, and on the right by St. Alban and St. Wilfrid.
