A glebe farm is historically land, often a complete farm or fields, set aside to provide income or support for a parish priest or minister, with the word "glebe" coming from Latin for soil or land, and these farms could be rented out or farmed directly to supplement the clergyman's stipend. Today, the term refers to various places, including modern farms like Glebe Farm in Cambridgeshire known for gluten-free oats, visitor attractions, or residential areas built on former glebe land.
Dealings with glebe land are now governed by the Church Property Measure Act 2018 by virtue of which the land can be leased, exchanged or sold without the historic requirement for consent from patrons or from the Church Commissioners.

Why is the glebe called the glebe?
The area is called the Glebe because in the initial 1837 survey of Ottawa, the area of 178 acres was deeded by the Crown to St. Andrew's Presbyterian Church as Clergy Reserve. The word "glebe" means church lands, and the area was originally known as "the glebe lands of St. Andrew's Presbyterian Church".
Glebe is an inner-western suburb of Sydney in New South Wales. Glebe is located 3 kilometres (1.9 mi) southwest of the Sydney central business district in the Inner West region.
