Sempringham Priory was a priory in Lincolnshire, England, located in the medieval hamlet of Sempringham, to the northwest of Pointon. Today, all that remains of the priory is a marking on the ground where the walls stood and a square, which are identifiable only in aerial photos of the vicinity. However, the parish church of St Andrew's, built around 1100 AD, is witness to the priory standing alone in a field away from the main road.

  • Sempringham Priory was a priory in Lincolnshire, England, located in the medieval hamlet of Sempringham, to the northwest of Pointon. Today, all that remains of the priory is a marking on the ground where the walls stood and a square, which are identifiable only in aerial photos of the vicinity. However, the parish church of St Andrew's, built around 1100 AD, is witness to the priory standing alone in a field away from the main road. The priory was built by Gilbert of Sempringham, the only English saint to have founded a monastic order. The priory's religious accentuation as an important religious pilgrimage site began when St Gilbert established the Gilbertine Order in 1131 by inducting "seven maidens" who were his pupils. Alexander, Bishop of Lincoln, helped in establishing the religious buildings to the north of St Andrew's Church as a protected area. St Gilbert died at Sempringham in 1189 and was buried in the priory church. He was canonised on 13 October 1202, for the many miracles noted at his tomb in the priory. His name is prefixed to the Sempringham Priori, which is known as "St Gilbert Sempringham Priory," and is thus a well-visited pilgrimage centre. The priory, which functioned as a dual community made up of canons and nuns, was dissolved in 1538. The Clinton family, who took possession of the priory, demolished it completely without leaving any trace of it on the ground. They built a mansion from the building material they extracted from the demolished structure. (en)
  • Il Priorato di Sempringham era un priorato del Lincolnshire, situato nei pressi della borgata di Sempringham. Oggi tutto quello che rimane del priorato sono i segni sul terreno lasciati dalle mura e una piazza visibile solo dall'alto. La principessa Gwenllian ferch Llywelyn, figlia di Llywelyn Ein Llyw Olaf ap Gruffydd, l'ultimo "vero" principe del Galles, fu tenuta prigioniera al priorato per gran parte della vita. Il priorato venne fondato da Gilberto di Sempringham l'unico santo inglese ad aver fondato un Ordine monastico. Il priorato cominciò a divenire meta di pellegrinaggio quando Gilberto istituì nel 1131 l'ordine dei Gilbertini, Alexander, vescovo di Lincoln, aiutò la nascita dell'ordine facendo porre gli edifici religiosi a nord della chiesa parrocchiale di St.Andrews considerandola quale area protetta. San Gilberto morì a Sempringham nel 1189 e fu sepolto nella chiesa del priorato, egli venne quindi canonizzato nel 1202 in virtù dei molti miracoli che erano avvenuti sulla sua tomba. La comunità ospitò per secoli i frati e le suore aderenti all'ordine dei gilbertini fino a che non vennero smantellati nel 1538 per ordine di Enrico VIII d'Inghilterra, della terra prese possesso la famiglia dei che abbatté tutti gli edifici senza lasciarne traccia alcuna nemmeno sul terreno. Col materiale ricavato i Clinton costruirono una magione. (it)
