medieval-religion: Scholarly discussions of medieval religion and culture



Gilbert of Sempringham
 
There is a window of heraldic glass in Selby Abbey which, until 1984 was in 
 the parish church at Ellerton in East Yorkshire, a Victorian building made 
 redundant in the early 1980's. The predecessor church at Ellerton had been 
the  nave of the Gilbertine Priory there, founded between 1199 and 1203. 
This glass  was transferred to the rebuilt church and may, therefore, be 
presumed to be  Gilbertine.
 
There is a study of Gilbertine window glass:
 
C Pamela Graves. "The Window Glass of the Order of St Gilbert of  
Sempringham: A York-based Study". York, Council for British Archaeology for the  York 
Archaeological Trust, 2000. This Ellerton/Selby glass is discussed  on pp. 
486-95.
