Thomas Perkins is a historical account written in the early 20th century. The book delves into the architecture, history, and significance of St. Albans Cathedral, providing a comprehensive overview that showcases both its physical structure and its rich past.

The opening of the book begins with a preface explaining the author's engagement in the project, initially intended for a different writer. It offers insights into the collaborative efforts and the support received from other historians and the church's administration. Following this, the first chapter presents a narrative of the early history of the site where the cathedral now stands, touching on events from the Roman era up to the martyrdom of St. Alban, the first British Christian martyr. The text sets the foundation for understanding the architectural and historical transformations that the Cathedral Church of St. Albans has undergone over the centuries, as well as its role in the local community and broader religious tradition.
