Saint and first English martyr (5)

I believe the answer is:

alban

(Other definitions for alban that I've seen before include "Saint who was first British Christian martyr" , "Hertfordshire saint" , "Saint born at Verulamium" , "Ancient Scottish kingdom" , "-- Berg, composer" .)

I've seen this clue in The Mirror.
