glebe
As I understand it, a glebe is the land surrounding a church or its rectory/vicarage which the incumbent rector/vicar is entitled to use for his own purposes. Since this is a part of the establishment set-up of the Church of England, one would not expect find it in the U.S., where the perquisites of a clergyman do not involve real estate, other than church-supplied housing.
