medieval-religion: Scholarly discussions of medieval religion and culture

Gilbert of Sempringham (d. 1189) Gilbert was an Englishman (Norman)
of knightly family. . The Gilbertines were the only English-founded
religious order of the Middle Ages, eventually growing to 26
communities. G. was canonized in 1202.

One of Gilbert's foundations was St Leonard's, Malton, only a few miles from my own abode. Some years ago this was given back to the Catholic Church by the Church of England and now serves as the Catholic parish church of Malton; one of very few medieval churches owned by the Catholic Church in England. Unfortunately it has been re-ordered in a manner quite out of keeping with the medieval building.
