The title names a glebe property associated with Miss Bowie, and "glebe" refers to land set aside to support a parish clergyman, so the picture likely records a church-related holding. The title came from unverified notes the National Photo Company wrote on the negative or its sleeve, so the connection to Miss Bowie should be treated as provisional. The picture is a glass negative dated between 1921 and 1922, a period when the company photographed scenes across the region for commercial sale. Streaks and blemishes in the glass reflect the gradual breakdown of its original coating.
