Gilbertine Order
Order founded by Gilbert of Sempringham / From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Gilbertine Order of Canons Regular was founded around 1130 by Saint Gilbert in Sempringham, Lincolnshire, where Gilbert was the parish priest. It was the only completely English religious order and came to an end in the 16th century at the time of the Dissolution of the Monasteries.[1] Modest Gilbertine revivals have taken place in the late 20th and early 21st centuries on three continents.
