As a Business Training Company that specialises in Life, Business, Money and Enterprise Skills for Children and based in St Albans, we had a particular interest in the article published in the
Daily Mail – Monday March 20th, page 9.
After 2,000 years, St Albans starts a hot cross bun fight!!
You wouldn’t have thought there’d be much mystery about the humble hot cross bun.
It’s hot, it’s got a cross on it and er, it’s a bun!!
But now the good folk of St Albans have decided to claims it as their own – the ‘Alban’ in fact.
The Dean of St Albans, Dr Jeffrey John, says cross-marked buns were actually invented in the Hertfordshire city by a monk.
Father Thomas Rockliffe developed an original recipe for the sweet spiced bun in 1361 and distributed them to the local poor on Good Friday.
