Wikipedia description:

The Gilbertine Order was a Catholic religious institute of canons regular founded around 1130 by Gilbert of Sempringham 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. Modest Gilbertine revivals have taken place in the late 20th and early 21st centuries on three continents.
