	Gilbert of Sempringham - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Gilbert of Sempringham (about 1083—4 February 1189/90) became the only Englishman to found a convent, mainly because the Cistercian monks at Citeaux declined his request to assist him in helping a group of women living with lay brothers and sisters, in 1148.
		He was born at Sempringham in Lincolnshire, the son of Jocelin, an Anglo-Norman lord of the manor, who bucked the usual trend of the day and actively prevented his son from becoming a knight, instead packing him off to the University of Paris to study theology.
		When he returned in 1120 AD he became a clerk in the household of Bishop Robert Bloet of Lincoln, started a school for boys and girls (the existing Primary School at Sempringham is still named after him) and was finally ordained by Robert's successor, Alexander.

	BURTON PEDWARDINE: MAREHAM GRANGE
		Mareham, or Coldmareham as it was often called, occupied an exposed clayland site, and Sempringham's benefactors may have been as much concerned with the improvement of their own estates that ensued from the establishment of granges as with the more ethereal benefits of good works.
		In the twelfth century a ditched enclosure called 'Parc' was granted by Ralf Salvein to Sempringham for use as arable, pasture, or meadow, and land was already cultivated in the vicinity (5).
		The subsequent use of the grange is obscure, but it is likely that sheep farming was the principal activity.

		The Order of Sempringham, as it was called, to which is the Priory of Watton belonged, was founded about 1139, by Gilbert, rector of Sempringham and Terrington, owing to the desire of seven maidens, who lived in Sempringham; to lead the strict religious life.
