What is a Glebe?

Answer 1

Did you mean "Glebe" or "The Glebe"? I'm going with your question and go with Glebe.

In the Roman Catholic and Anglican church traditions, a glebe was an area of land belonging to a parish, the revenues from which were intended to help support the parish. A glebe-house is a rectory built for the parish priest, vicar, pastor, or rector, usually at church expense. In the American colonies of Great Britain where the Church of England was the established religion, glebe land was distributed by the colonial government, and was often farmed or rented out by the by a church rector to cover living expenses. This practice was no longer observed following the disestablishment of state churches that accompanied the American Revolution. The many roads in the eastern United States and other former British colonial possessions that bear this name once run past a church glebe property.
