Recorded as Gilbert and the patronymic Gilbertson, this is an English surname, but one recorded throughout the British Isles. It is of Norman-French and even earlier pre 7th century Germanic origins. It derives from the personal name variously spelt as Gislebert, Guilbert or Gilebert. However spelt it is a compound with the elements "gisil", meaning a noble youth, and "berht", bright or famous. It is first recorded in England in the famous Domesday Book of 1086 and in the Latinized form of Gislebertus, and appears as a surname in the early 13th century (see below). The given name as Gilbert was very popular in medieval England, partly owing to the fame of St. Gilbert of Sempringham, (1086 - 1189), and the founder of the only native English monastic order. Early examples of the surname recording taken from surviving church registers of the diocese of Greater London include Anna Gylberte, who was christened on June 20th 1548, at St. Michael''s Cornhill, and Anne, the daughter of Harry Gilbert, who was christened on December 21st 1558, at St. Matthew''s, Friday Street, also in the city of London.

sacriston

Sacriston is a village and civil parish in County Durham, England, situated 3 miles (4.8 km) north of the city of Durham.

Although the area has been populated since the Bronze Age, the first recorded settlement dated back to the 13th century to Sacristan''s Heugh. According to old maps it was once known as "Segerston Heugh" and is now known to local people as "Segga". This farm and manor house was once the residence of the Sacristan, a monk who held the Office of the Sacristan of the monastery at Durham Cathedral. The Sacristan was responsible for providing everything necessary for the services of the Cathedral: bread and wine, the vestments etc. He was also responsible for repairs to Durham Cathedral. The funds for carrying out the official duties were generated from the estate of Sacristan''s Heugh which was finally demolished shortly after World War Two.
Sport in the village consists of a village cricket team who play in the Northumberland and Tyneside senior league and have a 1st, 2nd and 3rd XI, along with under 11''s, 13''s, 15''s and 18''s. The village also has two football teams which play on a Sunday - Sacriston Working Mens Club FC., and Sacriston Colliery Cricket Club FC. Both play in the Durham Stephy Coaches League with the Cricket Club playing in the Premier and the WMC in the first division

Sacriston Colliery Cricket Club FC now provides an outlet for villagers from all backgrounds to come together for a single cause. Manages by local celebrity Richard Hilton the team has gradually worked its way through the levels of local football.

Now sitting in the Premier League however Hilton has experienced hard times. A poor start to the season has left his position under threat amidst rumours he has "lost the dressing room". Only time will tell if Hilton han recapture the magic of the past 5 seasons and guide the club to safety. Failure to do so and he genuinely could be the next manager to end up on the "managerial scrap heap"
