In the book, Ireland under the Stewarts, currently being processed by Distributed proofreaders, the following phrase occurs ... twenty - four acre glebes were assigned... to various persons.. None of the above references ever refers to any unit of land, and only by changing the spelling to "glades".. does it fit. The original spelling is quite clear. I cannot find any alternate spellings for GLADE that has any Celtic or Irish roots. Help .. anybody?Cdpl94 (talk) 06:37, 22 June 2013 (UTC)Reply

Is there a reason why your sentence has glebes with a b, but you're posting this on gledes with a d? There actually is a land-related sense of glebe. Chuck Entz (talk) 14:03, 22 June 2013 (UTC)Reply
