" See also:Glebe Lands ") says: " Every church of See also:common right is entitled to See also:house and glebe, and the assigning of them at the first was of such See also:absolute See also:necessity that without them no church could be regularly consecrated
.
The house and glebe are both comprehended under the word See also:manse, of which the See also:rule of the See also:canon law is, sancitum est ut unicuique ecclesiae unus mansus integer absque ullo servitio tribuatur." In the technical See also:language of See also:English law the See also:fee-See also:simple of the glebe is said to be in See also:abeyance, that is, it exists " only in the remembrance, expectation and intendment of the law." But the See also:freehold is in the See also:parson, although at common law he could alienate the same only with proper consent,—that is, in his See also:case, with the consent of the See also:bishop
.
The disabling statutes of See also:Elizabeth (See also:Alienation by Bishops, 1559, and Dilapidations, &c., 1571) made void all alienations by ecclesiastical persons, except leases for the See also:term of twenty-one years or three lives

By an See also:act of 1842 (5 & 6 Vict. c
.
27, Ecclesiastical Leases) glebe land and buildings may be let on See also:lease for farming purposes for fourteen years or on an improving lease for twenty years
.
But the parsonage house and ten acres of glebe situate most conveniently for occupation must not be leased
.
By the Ecclesiastical Leasing Acts of 1842 (5 & 6 Vict. c
.
1o8) and 1858 glebe lands may be let on See also:building leases for not more than ninety-nine years and on See also:mining leases for not more than sixty years
.
The Tithe Act 1842, the Glebe Lands Act 1888 and various other acts make See also:provision for the See also:sale, See also:purchase, See also:exchange and See also:gift of glebe lands
.
In Scots ecclesiastical law, the manse 'See also:row signifies the See also:minister's dwelling-house, the glebe being the land to which he is entitled in addition to his See also:stipend
.
All See also:parish ministers appear to be entitled to a glebe, except the ministers in royal burghs proper, who cannot claim a glebe unless there be a landowner's See also:district annexed; and even in that case, when there are two ministers, it is only the first who has a claim
