Thelma-- Most if not all of the Church of England parishes had Glebes. It is land that belongs to and is adjacent to the church. Originally, it was supposed to provide acreage so the pastor could work it & provide for his family. Later, some leased it out & used the $$ to pay the preacher to provide for his family. Don't know if you wanted to know all that or not :-) Donna > > Is there or was there a Glebe in Hampshire County as that is what is on the back of > the picture I asked about? > Thelma
