What does GLEBE mean in Scrabble?
noun
historicalBritish
Land that was granted to a member of the clergy, especially a parish priest, as part of the income of the benefice.
A glebe traditionally supplied a rector or vicar with an independent means of support, since its produce or rent supplemented income from tithes and other church dues. The system dates back to medieval England and gradually declined as church finances were reorganized, though the term still appears in historical records, legal documents and place names such as Glebe Field.
