"The stained glass windows in the Church are from three different periods, each with their own distinctive style. The windows in the main body of the Church are Victorian and were put in within 20 years of the Church having been built. The windows in the side aisle are from the 1920s and the window in the Memorial Chapel is from 1971.
The Victorian Windows
The Victorian stained glass windows in the chancel, nave and entrance were all installed between 1887 and 1903. They were made in London, England in the workshop of Messrs Heaton, Butler and Bayne, under the guidance of the Church architect Arthur Blomfield and shipped out to Copenhagen to be installed by local craftsmen. They were produced at the height of the workshop’s fame and are very fine examples of their craftsmanship and work.

"English Church - St. Alban
As Copenhagen became the centre for commerce during the 1800’s - an English Congregation was developing in Copenhagen. It was possible for the English congregation in rented rooms at Store Kongensgade to have religious services in Copenhagen protected by a certain "Kings Law" until freedom of worship was granted by the Danish Constitution of 5 June - 1849.
Princess Alexandra and the Church
In need to build the congregations own church - the Danish Princess Alexandra - who later became Queen of England - and married to King Edward VII - took the first initiative to raise funds for the English Church at Langelinie - beside the Gefion fountain. The foundation stone of St Alban's English Church was laid on September 19th - 1885 by H.R.H. the Princess of Wales in the presence of many royal persons and members of the Church Building Committee.
Consecrated in September 1887
The church was consecrated on 17 September - 1887. The church is a typical English church in Early English style - designed by the Victorian church architect Sir Arthur Blomfield - and executed by the Danish architect Professor L. Fenger. As far as possible - it is built as it would be in England with a beautiful altar piece and decorative glass mosaics.
Prominent Guests at the opening
Present on the opening day of St. Albans Church were the Prince and Princess of Wales - the King and Queen of Denmark - The Czar and Czarina of Russia - the King and Queen of Greece - the Danish Crown prince - and Princess Marie of Denmark - as well as many other members of foreign Royal Houses. Beside of the entire diplomatic corps - ministers and representative from Army and Navy - the church officials - as well as Greek - Russian and Roman Catholic Priests were present. Following the consecration - the Prince and Princess of Wales on board the royal ship Osborne were hosting a lunch - to which all those who had been closely connected with the realisation of the church were invited.
Saint Alban
The Church was named after Saint Alban, the first martyr of England - murdered on the 22nd of June in the year 303 A.D. and buried in Ely in Cambridgeshire in eastern England - and the church bells were not installed in the tower until November 1887. Since the church was consecrated it has functioned without interruption.
St. Alban's is under the patronage of H.M. Queen Elizabeth II.
Location
The English Church St. Alban is located beside the Gefion Fountain - Resistance Museum - Churchill Parken - The Little Mermaid - The Old Citadel." SOURCE
