Editing Glebe (section)

==Anglo-America==
In [[Bermuda]] and the [[Thirteen Colonies]] of Great Britain where the Church of England was the established church, glebe land was distributed by the colonial government and was often farmed or rented out by the church [[Rector (ecclesiastical)|rector]] to cover living expenses.{{sfn|SM Staff|2012}} The [[Reformed Church in America|Dutch Reformed Church]] also provided glebes for the benefit of the pastor; it continued this practice through at least the 1850s.{{sfn|Heisler|1872|p=295}}{{sfn|Ellis|1878|p=}}{{page needed|date=May 2016}} In some cases associations with former glebe properties is retained in the local names, for example: [[Virginia State Route 120|Glebe Road]] in [[Arlington County, Virginia]], the community of [[Glebe, West Virginia|Glebe]] in [[Hampshire County, West Virginia]], Glebe Mountain in Londonderry, Windham County, Vermont, Glebe Hill, near [[Tucker's Town, Bermuda|Tucker's Town]], Bermuda, another Glebe Hill in [[Southampton, Bermuda|Southampton Parish]], Bermuda, and The Glebe Road in [[Pembroke, Bermuda|Pembroke Parish]], Bermuda.

The Baptist, Presbyterian and other churches that were not established in Virginia succeeded in 1802 and passage in the legislature of the Glebe Act, whereby whether glebes were sold by the overseers of the poor for the benefit of the indigent in the parish. The Episcopal Church was weakened by the new law, but in the Carolinas the glebes remained in the hands of the church and either were worked by the minister or rented out by them.<ref>{{cite book|author=David L.
