Heart of Albion
Alby Stone
Alby Stone was born in 1954 near Southend-on-Sea, Essex. He obtained a B.Ed. (Hons) in 1986 at Thames Polytechnic, specialising in historical and sociological studies, and language acquisition. Since 1982 he has lived in London, where he works as a civil servant. His main interests are the history, archaeology and sociology of religion and associated beliefs and practices, historical linguistics; and the quirks, conceits and follies of the human mind.
Alby Stone would like to make it clear that he does not support any organisation, philosophy or creed that discriminates against or devalues any person or group of people because of differences of age, physical or mental ability, ethnicity, skin colour, religion, sex, sexual orientation or political belief, or which seeks to promote hatred, repression and division based on such differences.
