SHELDON, GILBERT (1598-1677) , archbishop of Canterbury, was born at Stanton in the parish of Ellastone, Staffordshire, and educated at
Oxford
 . He was ordained in 1622 and was appointed chaplain to
Thomas
  Lord Coventry (1578-1640). Four years later he was elected warden of All Souls' College,
Oxford
 . During the years 1632-1639 he received the livings of Hackney (1633); Oddington, Oxfordshire; Ickford, Buckingham-shire (1636); and Newington, Oxfordshire; besides being a prebendary of
Gloucester
  from 1632. In 1638 he was on a commission appointed to visit Merton College, Oxford. He was intimate with the Royalist leaders, participated in the negotiations for the
Uxbridge
  treaty of 1644, and collected funds for Charles II. in
exile
 . In 1648 he was ejected from All Souls' by order of
parliament
 , and imprisoned for some months, but he regained the wardenship in 1659. In i66o he became
bishop
  of London and master of the Savoy, and the Savoy Conference was held at his lodgings. He was consecrated archbishop of Canter-bury in 1663. He was greatly interested in the welfare of Oxford University, of which he became
chancellor
  in 1667, succeeding Clarendon (1609-1674). The Sheldonian theatre at Oxford was built and endowed at his expense.
