St. Pancras itself was named after a 14 year old boy from Asia Minor named Pancratius (A.D. 289-304), a convert to Christianity. He was beheaded by order of the Emperor Diocletian for refusing to sacrifice to the Roman gods. The old church of St. Pancras, traditionally older even than St. Paul’s Cathedral, was named after him.<ref>St Marks Regent Park [http://www.stmarksregentspark.org.uk/section/3%7C ''The Building of St Marks Regent Park''], Adapted.
