Alan Shelley’s Principles about this Website

Family, Friends, Farming, Fonts, Folk-right & Freedom

My biographical philosophy is pretty simple to follow. The family comes first, and everything emanates from that. I have been blest with outstanding good fortune and am well aware of this.

English history, its landscape, town, and countryside has always been an essential element of my being. As an inherited commoner and freeman with land in Sudbury, Suffolk, farming has a natural part in my interests.

I have been fortunate to have enjoyed the experience during my early apprenticed life in a technical capacity. This has included engineering, quality assurance, and the development of new products that are in everyday use today.

In the world of typography (and fonts) I came in contact with internationally renowned designers, publishers, and manufacturers. This has also involved me in the skills and practicalities of competitive business.

Where it comes to the lore and laws of folk-right and freedom, then this is my overruling concern for its philosophy, history, and practices, along with free speech, free trade, and the rule of law.

My association with the Freemen of England and Wales has brought me into many interesting and far-reaching discussions. I  have enjoyed the company of leading practitioners. Wining and dining even with Bishops and their spouses and among others, Sir Peter Gadsden, Lord Mayor of London.

The contents of this website are deliberately intended to provide the reader with a range of related sides about my  core subjects and activities. These include the primary features of historical importance and or of related interest.

In conclusion, this website particularly concentrates on the development of events in English law and culture that were based upon customs founded in early Anglo-Saxon times.
